The Dewar's whisky brand was created by John Dewar, Sr. in 1846.
Under the control of his two sons, John A. Dewar Jr. and Thomas "Tommy" Dewar, the brand expanded to become a global market by 1896.
Tommy became famous as the author of a travel journal, Ramble Round the Globe, which documented his travels while publicizing the Dewar name. Dewar's eventually expanded their product by constructing the Aberfeldy Distillery in 1896.
Dewar’s is a storied distiller of blended Scotch whiskies of varying ages since 1846. Other Dewar’s releases are the splendid double aged “12” which is just a step above the “White Label”. Above the 12 year old “12” is the Dewar’s 18 year old label and Dewar’s Signature is the highest quality variety in the Dewar’s canon.
The “White Label” variety debuted in 1898 and consisted of 10 malts but since then it has grown.
The company joined Distillers Company in 1925. Distillers was acquired by Guinness in 1986, and Guinness merged with Grand Metropolitan to form Diageo in 1997.
Finally, Diageo sold Dewar's to Bacardi in 1998.
