The families dynasties begun in 1845 when John Dewars established a modest whiskey blending and bottling operation in Perth.

He began on a small scale but was soon looking beyond the
limits of Perth markets to the south

In 1893 they were granted Queen Victoria’s Royal warrant for the supply
of whisky to the Royal household’s.
As the demand for Dewars whiskey grew the brothers decided to
do more than just blend and sell whiskey. They took over the lease of tullymet
distillery and built another distillery at Aberfeldy neither birthplace of
their father.

Over the
course of two years he arranged shipments of whisky into countless ports
worldwide.
It was the basis of Dewar’s export network which still
exists today.

A particularly nice collectable is Dewars glass decanters I have
included some photos on this page, as I think they are a very good investment
opportunity if you come across one.
Bar dispensing bottles are particularly rare and very sought
after and I have seen them go at auction for as much as £1000.-$1450
