Notes from the Distiller:
The new Dewar’s 12 Year Old is comprised of up to 40 of Scotland’s finest single malt and grain whiskies, now double aged in hand selected 1st Fill Bourbon Casks resulting in a far greater breadth and depth of flavor.
Aged for a minimum of 12 years, this scotch whisky is perfectly balanced with notes of peach, red apple and lemon zest on the nose, giving way to more floral and spicy notes of white pepper and clove before concluding in an incredibly long and smooth finish.

94 Points, #4, Whisky Advocate's Top 20 Of 2022
"Reinvention, reimagination, call it what you will, but Dewar’s master blender Stephanie Macleod’s introduction of first-fill bourbon cask finishing elevates this classic to the higher echelons of blended scotch whisky. It may seem a small gesture, but the result of combining the marrying and finishing processes is both captivatingly delicious and texturally silken, adding seemingly infinite layers of honey, vanilla, dried apricot, citrus, chocolate, and soft oak to the tasting experience, interwoven with a wisp of smoke. Without changing a beat of the blend’s 40 malts and grains, Macleod’s methods prove her mastery of the craft yet again."

"Lifted aromas of salted peach, cherry preserves, honeysuckle, and caramel-coated orange peel. Rich and silky on the palate, swirls of cinnamon and brown sugar are anchored by toasted oak, clove, and white pepper on a long, smooth finish."

"Possibly one of the best-balanced whiskies around—which is what blending is all about—this honey-hued Scotch measures out fruit, smoke, oak and spice. The fresh, enticing scent incorporates fresh apple, orange peel and milky caramel. On the palate, light smokiness up front gives way to more vanilla and fruit, winding into the long baking-spice finish."
