Dewar's is a world-renowned brand of blended Scotch whisky that boasts a heritage dating back to 1846. Founded by John Dewar in Perth, Scotland, the brand became a global household name under the leadership of his sons, John Alexander and Thomas 'Tommy' Dewar, who were pioneers in whisky marketing and the process of double-aging.

To this day, Dewar's whisky is produced and bottled in Scotland, adhering to strict regulations for Scotch whisky production. The brand's signature double-aging process—where the whisky is returned to oak casks for a secondary maturation after blending—is designed to create exceptional smoothness. The Aberfeldy distillery, established by the Dewar family in 1898, remains the spiritual heart of the brand and provides the central malt for their blends.

While Dewar's was once family-owned, it underwent several ownership changes during the 20th century consolidation of the spirits industry. It was part of Distillers Company (which later became Diageo) before being acquired by Bacardi Limited in 1998. Today, it remains a pillar of the Bacardi portfolio, which is headquartered in Bermuda, while maintaining its deep-rooted production traditions in Scotland.
