ABOUT DEWAR’S:
Founded in 1846 by John Dewar, DEWAR’s has grown from a small wine and spirits merchant shop in Scotland, to one of the largest Scotch whisky brands in the world. DEWAR’S has expanded its family to create a portfolio of premium and super premium whiskies including DEWAR’s 12-Years Old, DEWAR’s 15- Years Old, DEWAR’s 18-Years Old, DEWAR’s Double Double Series, DEWAR’s Caribbean Smooth and the exclusive DEWAR’s 25. These whiskies are crafted using the DEWAR’s oak marrying ageing process, which involves returning the hand-crafted blend to vintage oak casks for further maturation. The result is a smoother taste with a long, lingering finish; a taste that wins medals and applause, making DEWAR’s the world's most awarded blended Scotch. The DEWAR’s brand is part of the portfolio of Bacardi Limited, headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda. Bacardi Limited refers to the Bacardi group of companies, including Bacardi International Limited.
