Product description
Dewar's 12-year-old Double Aged is a blended Scotch whisky, distinguished by a two-stage ageing process, which includes maturing the individual malt and grain whisky components in oak barrels for at least 12 years. Then, the blended blend is re-aged in Oloroso sherry barrels, which gives depth and harmony to the taste. Dewar's 12-year-old Double Aged is a classic blended whisky that will work well both as a base for cocktails and for tasting on its own.
Dewar's is a Scottish whisky brand that was founded by John A. Dewar Jr. and Thomas "Tommy" Dewar, becoming a global market leader by 1896. Dewar's is known for its double-aging process, which gives the whisky an exceptional smoothness and richness of flavor. The Dewar's portfolio includes Dewar's 12 Years Old, Dewar's 15 Years Old, Dewar's White Label, Dewar's 18 Years Old and Dewar's 25 Years Old. The brand is currently owned by Bacardi Ltd., which acquired it in 1998.
