Production method
Production based on assembling single malt and grain whisky (up to around 30 components). The brand's distinctive process is 'double-ageing': separate maturation of components, blending and a subsequent resting period in selected casks to promote aroma integration; for some premium lines the brand applies a four-stage process (Double Double Collection).
Ageing
Double-ageing: separate maturation of the components (malts and grain), assembly and return to cask for a further maturation period; in the 'Double Double' line a four-stage process with rests and selected finishes.
Producer history Dewar'S
The DEWAR'S brand was born from John Dewar's business, who opened a wine and spirits shop in Perth in 1846. To secure malt supplies for its blends, the Dewar family established a production district linked to the brand and contributed to the construction of the Aberfeldy Distillery at the end of the 19th century. In 1998 the John Dewar & Sons group became part of the Bacardi group, which today manages the brand and its global distribution.
Production philosophy
Search for balance and smoothness: DEWAR'S aims for balanced, approachable flavors, combining up to thirty single malts and grain whiskies and applying additional ageing (double-ageing) to harmonize the blend's components.
Territory
Origins and historical heart in Perth, Scotland; Aberfeldy (Perthshire, Highlands) is the key site associated with the malt that enters DEWAR'S blends.
Awards and recognitions
According to the official site, DEWAR'S has collected over 1,500 international medals throughout its history; among recent recognitions cited is the victory of DEWAR'S 32 Year Old as 'World's Best Whisky' at an international competition.
