Tour Scotland Travel Video Spring Drive Drive To Dewar's Whisky Distillery In Aberfeldy Highland Perthshire

Tour Scotland Spring travel video of a road trip drive East on the A827 road from Kenmore on ancestry visit to Dewar's Whisky Distillery in Aberfeldy, Highland Perthshire, Scotland. Aberfeldy Distillery was founded by the John Dewar & Sons, Ltd. in 1896, and opened in 1898. The distillery is located on the eastern outskirts of Aberfeldy, on the southern bank of the upper Tay. The demand for barley as a basic foodstuff during World War I led to the distillery being closed from 1917 to 1919. The Second World War also caused barley supplies to be cut, and the distillery was again forced to shut down for some of this period. Supply to final markets was kept up by reducing the period whisky was laid up from 7 years to 3 years. In 1972 the distillery was enlarged, and the old stills were replaced by four new steam heated stills. It now distills Aberfeldy single malt Scotch Whisky.
