Dewar’s 18 YO is a blended Scotch finished using the brand’s Double Aged process, where the fully aged blend is married together in oak a second time before bottling. That extra marrying period softens the whisky and rounds out its grain base, bringing honey, cut grass and orchard fruit forward alongside toasted oak. It suits someone who wants the depth of a long-aged blend without the heavier sherry or peat character of a single malt.
