Founder John Dewar crafted high quality blended whiskys, passing this skill to his son John Alexander, who double-aged his blends in the Company cellars. John Dewar was one of the first Scotsmen to blend whisky, and was the first to blend it right. So much so he put his name on the bottle as a mark of quality.Created by master blender, Stephanie MacLeod, this is blend of malt and grain whiskies aged at least 25 years. The whiskies were then blended and placed into oak casks to marry for a time. Finally, the whisky was transferred to freshly-emptied Royal Brackla single malt barrels to finish the maturation process. This bottling replaces Dewar's Signature. Bottled at 40% ABV, this blended whisky will first become available in global travel retail from October 2017 before rolling out to other key markets.
