Dewar's 12 Year Old Scotch Whiskey (750Ml)

Description

Dewar's 12 Year Old is a blended Scotch whisky from John Dewar & Sons, now part of Bacardi. Every whisky in the blend has spent at least 12 years in oak. The brand builds it from thirty single malt and grain whiskies, including aged reserves from its own distilleries. At its heart sits Aberfeldy Single Malt, from the distillery John Dewar's sons built in the 1890s.

What sets it apart is double aging. After the first maturation, the whiskies are blended and returned to oak for about six months to marry. For this bottling, Dewar's uses first-fill American oak bourbon casks, a first for the brand. Older bottles carried the name "The Ancestor."

Pour a glass and you'll find vanilla, citrus and orchard fruit on the nose. The palate is smooth and layered, with butterscotch, cereal and soft spice. It ends gently smoky, with oak and a honeyed warmth that stays with you.

Judges like it too. The 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition gave it Double Gold. Dewar's also lists gold and Best Blended Scotch 12 Years Old at the 2024 International Whisky Competition. Add gold at the 2025 World Whiskies Awards and 94 points from Whisky Advocate.

Sip it neat to taste every layer, or let it shine in a tall glass. An Original or Aromatic Highball is an easy win at home. Dewar's also suggests a Whisky Collins or a Boulevardier, and our classic cocktails offer more ideas. Set out aged Gouda, mixed nuts or bread pudding alongside.
