Expert Review

8/10

30 single malts and grains aged 12 years, then married and re-aged in oak — Dewar's signature double-ageing process — with first-fill bourbon casks adding smoothness. Aberfeldy malt forms the heart. Best Blended Scotch 12YO at the 2024 International Whisky Competition. Whisky Advocate 94 points. Outstanding value blender.
