DEWAR’S Double Double 38-Year-Old Whisky
Introducing DEWAR’S Double Double 38-Year-Old Whisky, the second release in the DEWAR’S Blended Scotch Whisky Collector’s Series. This single malt whisky pays tribute to the Northern Highlands, offering a rare, blended malt luxury whisky.
The latest innovation follows DEWAR’s global rebrand, announced through the recent launch of its “Here’s to the Story” platform. This celebrates nearly 180 years of pioneering spirit and commitment to inspiring life’s most enriching discoveries.
Developed by Stephanie Macleod, DEWAR’S Double Double 38-Year-Old pays homage to the Northern Highlands of Scotland. It also showcases DEWAR’s unique four-stage aging process.
DEWAR’S Blended Scotch Whisky Adds New Spirit
The process begins with the careful selection of single malt whiskies from the Highlands and Islay regions. Then aged for at least 38 years. After blending, the whiskies are aged for an additional month in their original casks.
The blend includes a reserved portion of the DEWAR’S Double Double 37-Year-Old, held back and matured one more year. The technique is a brand-led innovation, demonstrating how DEWAR’S is continuing to lead the way in luxury whisky.
The final blend is then matured in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, previously used to age ROYAL BRACKLA Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
Stephanie Macleod, Master Blender for DEWAR’S, said: “Creating Double Double 38-Year-Old allowed us to explore the full potential of our unique four-stage aging process, blending tradition with a forward-thinking approach to Scotch whisky. This blend is meticulously crafted using some of Scotland’s finest Highland and Islay malts, each aged for at least 38 years, and then finished in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, adding layers of richness and complexity.”
This whisky opens with aromas of aromatic white flowers and citrus, followed by creamy vanilla, toasted cereals, frangipane, and a subtle whiff of smoke. A palate of dried figs and plums is combined with notes of dark chocolate shavings.
