Double-aging the whisky in hand-selected, first-fill American Oak Bourbon casks for the first time has created a distinctly different experience for drinkers. This new expression builds upon the brand’s style of floral, honeyed Highland whisky, with a hint of smoke.

Showcasing up to 40 of Scotland’s finest single malt and grain whiskies, the new liquid was created by Dewar’s Master Blender Stephanie Macleod. “Curiosity has been at the cornerstone of the Dewar’s brand since John Dewar created the first whisky in 1846. And that sense of curiosity has carried through to how my teams and I develop our whiskies today,” said Macleod. “It was only natural to experiment and craft a new element to the maturation process, which has resulted in a distinctly different tasting experience.

“Having been experimenting with the influence of cask types on flavor and texture for the last ten years, we knew the time was right to bring some of what we have learnt to our core range of whiskies,” she added. “We wanted to take Dewar’s 12-Year-Old to the next level and bring the joys of quality Scotch whisky to a new generation of drinkers. Dewar’s whiskies have a characteristic floral and honeyed-style and we knew we could add a richer and more complex dimension through the use of first-fill American Oak Bourbon casks.”

All Dewar’s whiskies share one thing in common – they are double aged, a maturation process specific to Dewar’s that was perfected by the first Master Blender, AJ Cameron. 2022 marks the 125th anniversary since Cameron became the first Master Blender in 1897.

The new Dewar’s 12-Year-Old Blended Scotch Whisky is presented in a new, premium clear glass bottle with a modified base, label and enclosure.

Dewar’s 12-Year-Old Scotch Whisky is now available for $29.99 at 12.dewars.com and retail.
