The Story

About Dewar's The Ancestor 12 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky

By the end of the 19th century, the famed Dewar's Aberfeldy Distillery became operational. Situated by the Pitilie Burn, the small river has served as a source of pure water to this day. After the malted Scottish barley is brought in, it is left to ferment for an extended period of time, before being distilled in tall pot stills. The Aberfeldy single malt that is produced here remains the heart of Dewar's blend today. The premises are open for tours and cask tasting with a whisky lounge and cafe on hand.

Dewar's whisky is crafted by blending together "the rarest of rare whiskies from across Scotland." The backbone is that 27-year-old single malt whisky that is crafted at Aberfeldy Distillery. Once the 27-year-old is married together with other whiskies, the resulting blend is allowed to rest again in oak casks. This secondary maturation process "is a marriage made in heaven — ensuring our whiskies are even smoother and creamier," said Dewar's retired master blender Thomas Aitken. It's this great foundation and the signature "double aging" process that have made Dewar's the most awarded blended Scotch whisky in the world.

The Dewar's 12-year-old expression in their premium Blended Scotch Whisky range is a blend of grain and single malts, each of which has been aged at least a dozen years. Finished in oak casks after blending, it's a direct descendant of their Blended Scotch Whisky that was first created more than a century ago. It's bottled at 80 proof and has a profile with citrus, dried fruit, and vanilla notes.

About Dewar's

Dewar's was founded in 1846 when John Dewar began blending the finest whisky he could source in Scotland and bottling it with his own name on the label. By the turn of the century, the brand had expanded to become one of the best-selling whiskies in the world and today remains the best-selling Scotch whisky in the United States.

About Scotch

Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)

Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.

Tasting Notes

A pleasant sweetness leads the charge on the nose with caramel, oak, fruit, and citrus zest notes. The palate is creamy with honey, oak, and a dash of smoke & spice. The finish is medium long with a lingering sweetness and peppery spice.
