The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1846 by John Dewar, Dewar's grew from a small wine and spirits merchant in Perth, Scotland, into a globally renowned Scotch whisky house. Under the guidance of John's sons, Tommy and John Alexander, the brand pioneered the art of double-aging for extra smoothness and became one of the most awarded blended Scotches in history.

How it is made

This expression represents a unique marriage of cultures, blending traditional double-aged Scottish whisky with the fruit-forward essence of French apple brandy casks. The finishing process takes place in hand-selected Calvados casks from Normandy to impart an incredibly smooth, rounded sweetness.
