“Lots of history on this tour. Aberfeldy is originally John Dewar and Sons, one of the pioneer companies of Scotch whisky. Though it's a Bacardi company now the visitor's center is full of Dewar family history and worth the trip. Staff is very good at convincing you to buy a bottle with delicious samples too. Be warned, and check your personal exemption for taxes on the way home!”
