The classic 12 year old blend from Dewars, this stuff is the successor to Dewar's "Double Aged" 12 Year Old - so named in reference to the additional six month marriage the whisky enjoys in oak after the initial maturation and blending. The practice is maintained despite the name change and the result is loads of flavour…

When I tried drinking DEWARD 25 years Old at one Bar in Yokohama, I thought I should not have drunk any DEWARD but signature which I was so satisfied with when I tried at the Bar in Nishi-Asabu. But recently I had a chance to have DEWARD 12 Years Old. And my impression was more than "So-So". It is still right and too smooth but its well-balanced taste is excellent. Someday I want to compare 12 Years, 25 Years and Signature at one Bar. But 25 Years is expected to replace Signature. Thus it would be difficult to find such bars?
