Dewar's was founded in 1846 by John Dewar and in time, his sons John Alexander and Tommy inherited the firm. Today, still in independent family ownership, Dewar's brands are found around the world. Whisky from the Aberfeldy distillery, built by Dewar's in 1898 on the edge of Highland Perthshire, lies at the heart of all Dewar's whiskies, giving them their signature heather-honey overtones.
