Description
Taste Profile
DEWAR’S 12 Year Old opens with vanilla, citrus, and orchard fruit. The palate is rich and layered, with butterscotch, cereal, and soft spice, leading to a gently smoky finish of oak and honeyed warmth.
It undergoes its signature two-stage ageing process for deeper integration, followed by finishing in first-fill Bourbon casks. This delivers its house style with layered vanilla and citrus notes.
