Dewar’s Distillery is located on the outskirts of the picturesque small market town of Aberfeldy, just over 20 minutes from Atholl PalaceHotel. Even today, the Aberfeldy Distillery, is considered ‘The home to Dewar’s World of Whisky’ this is because it is of great importance as it is the home of the respected single malt that is the heart of the Dewar’s family of blends.The distillery was founded in 1798 by John Steward and Robert Robertson, [3] originally named 'Aldour', Interesting the spelling of Athol, is the original spelling and has one 'l'. Unlike the modern spelling of Atholl with two 'l's. By 1932 and throughout the WWII, Blair Athol was shut until the new owners ‘Arthur Bell & Sons’ rebuilt it in 1949 and added two more stills in 1970. This Highland distillery is situated in Pitlochry which is more like the gateways to the other highland areas of Scotland. The Bell’s Blend, one of the most consumed and loved whisky brands in all of South Africa, UK and Scandinavia are proudly owned by Blair Athol. Their single malt whiskey is flavoured and with a pleasing aroma. Some drinks are around 12 years old in maturation. Our recommendation is to try the Blair Athol 1993. Or, why not give a chance to the Blair Athol 2008. The Visitors’ Centre
