Aberfeldy is a distinguished Highland single malt Scotch whisky, famously known as 'The Golden Dram.' Founded in 1896 by John Alexander Dewar, the Aberfeldy Distillery was built in the heart of Scotland specifically to provide a consistent supply of high-quality malt for the Dewar's family blends. Today, it is celebrated for its honeyed sweetness and rich texture, derived from its local water source, the Pitilie Burn, which is known for containing gold deposits.

While the brand maintains its historical Scottish roots and production at the original distillery site, its ownership has evolved through industry consolidation. Since 1998, Aberfeldy has been owned by Bacardi Limited, which acquired the Dewar's brand portfolio from Diageo. This acquisition transitioned the brand into the portfolio of one of the world's largest family-owned spirits companies, headquartered in Bermuda. Despite its global corporate structure, the manufacturing remains strictly authentic to Scotland to maintain its 'Scotch Whisky' protected designation.
