Dewar's 12 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky

Blended Scotch Whisky | 40% ABV | 80 Proof | 750mL | Scotland | 12 Year Age Statement | First-Fill Bourbon Cask Finish

Process & Profile

Dewar's 12 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky is a premium aged blend composed of up to 30 single malt and grain whiskies, including reserves from the Dewar’s family of Scottish distilleries. Each whisky used in the blend is matured for at least 12 years, creating a smooth foundation of mature fruit, malt, vanilla, and oak.

After blending, the whisky undergoes Dewar’s additional maturation process and is finished in first-fill bourbon casks. These casks contribute greater depth, integration, and bourbon-influenced flavors of creamy vanilla, butterscotch, toasted cereal, and honeyed oak.

The finished Scotch opens with vanilla, citrus, and orchard fruit before developing richer notes of butterscotch, cereal, soft spice, and oak. A gently smoky, honeyed finish gives this 12-year-old blended Scotch enough character for sipping while retaining the approachable balance associated with the Dewar’s house style.
