Dewar's 25-year-old The Signature / 40% / 0.7l

Dewar's 25 years old The Signature debuted in the fall of 2017. It replaced the previous Signature version bottled without an age statement (made from components aged from 14 to 30 years, the core of which was a 27-year-old Aberfeldy malt).

The new Dewar's 25 years old The Signature is a blend of single malt and single grain whiskey finished in barrels after Royal Brackla, one of the components of the blend. Since 1998, the Dewar's brand has belonged to Bacardi Ltd, which bought it from Diageo along with the Aberfeldy, Aultmore, Craigellachie and Royal Brackla distilleries and Bombay gin for £1.15 billion. Dewar's is currently the ninth most popular blended Scotch whiskey with annual sales of 2.6 million cases (2017).
