Dewars 18 Year Old is a mature, refined blended Scotch that showcases the houses skillful layering of malt and grain whiskies. Its double-aged treatment adds extra polish, yielding a rich but balanced dram. Its well suited for slow sippingoffering depth without overwhelming heaviness.
It is a blend of Scotch whiskies each aged at least 18 years. Dewars uses its signature double-aging (marrying) techniqueafter blending, the whisky is returned to oak to rest and integrate.
In Dewars own words, the 18 is aged, blended, and aged again to create a smooth rich taste with bold flavor laced with a rich body of dark chocolate and dried fruit.
The ABV is 40% (80 proof).
Some reviewers mention a hint of grain influence or grain sweetness in the mid-palate that rounds off with vanilla / cream.
Others note that the whisky can have a slightly dry tail, reminding you of its oak backbone.
Serve: Neat in a tulip or Glencairn glass; a few drops of water may help open up more fruit and spice layers.
Pairings:
Dark chocolate, chocolate desserts
Dried fruit, date or fig cake
Nutty / almond desserts
Aged cheeses
Smoked or grilled meats with subtle fruit glazes
“One of the all-time standard bearers for blended Scotch, this whisky does not disappoint showing a well-tempered bouquet of baked apple, vanilla nougat, lemon custard, and fresh pear. Across the palate the whisky glides with no rough corners and finishes with lingering flavors of toasted honey.” 97 Points, 2023 Ultimate Spirits Challenge
