Dewar’s Ad and Poster Collection: 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 leader by 1896 and began to win several awards, including a gold medal in the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. 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. (Wikipedia)
