Located in the district of East Highlands Source Pitilie Burn they are the neighbors of the neighbors of the distilleries of Blair Athol and Edradour Glen Turret.

In 1919 the distillery was reopened. In 1925 the company merged with Buchanan's and Johnnie Walker under the name of The Distillers Company (DCL). In 1942 the distillery closed for a second time because of a shortage of barley this time by the outbreak of World War II. In 1944 the company re-opened. In 1972, the production capacity doubled by the placement of two stills. In 1998, the company gets its original name, John Dewar & Sons Ltd.. after which they are the twelve year old single malt Aberfeldy introduce in 1999.
