Description

John Dewar & Sons is a subsidiary of Bacardi, managing its Scotch whisky portfolio. Dewar's 12 Year Old, also known as 'The Ancestor', is a blended Scotch whisky crafted from up to 40 malt and grain whiskies, with Aberfeldy single malt forming its heart. It undergoes a signature 'double aging' process, where the blended whisky is returned to oak casks for an additional six months of marrying, enhancing its smoothness and complexity. This expression is bottled at 43.3% ABV and is known for its balanced and smooth flavor profile. [1, 2, 5, 6, 13, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22]
