Background & production
Dewar's 12-year-old blended Scotch. Malt and grain whiskies aged at least 12 years are blended, then returned to oak casks for about six months to marry — the "double aged" process.
Many malts and grains go into the blend, but it is especially shaped by Aberfeldy single malt from the Highlands.
Bottled at 40% ABV.
