Dewar’s, a Scottish distillery owned by the world’s largest privately held spirit company, Barcardi Limited, has unveiled its oldest expression to date – DEWAR’S Double Double 37-Year Old. This rare, limited edition expression kicks off the first in the brand’s Collector’s series to be released over a four-year period.
Created by DEWAR’S award-winning and skilled Master Blender Stephanie Macleod and her team, the new creation has already achieved recognition from the International Whisky Competition list of Top Whiskies of 2023, having reached number 12 in the competition. Furthermore, the DEWAR’S Double Double 37-year-old has been rated as the highest-rated Blended Scotch at 93.8 points.
Stephanie Macleod, Master Blender for DEWAR’S commented: “The team and I are driven by creating new and exciting whiskies – interesting flavors and experiences that make our loyal drinkers excited for what we might come up with next. With the Collector’s Series we wanted to take our award-winning Double Double series to the next level with a set of blended malts and, with this first expression, to pay homage to the style of a specific Scotch whisky region, all in one bottle. We’re excited to hear what our whisky connoisseurs think, and to reveal more about the rest of the collection in due course.”
