The Dewar’s 12 year old, also known as “The Ancestor” was blended by John Dewar and Sons in Scotland. This blended whisky is a result of over 40 different types of malt and grain whiskies that were matched together by their master blender. Most of its malt content comes from Aberfeldy which is a distillery established by Dewar’s in 1896.

Considered as “double aged”, this whisky spends an extra six months more after being mixed together in their barrels to marry the blend perfectly.

The essence and taste that comes with its dark gold color is composed of honey, some fruits, vanilla, butter, a little bit of spiciness, and oak among many others.
