Dewar’s 16 Years Double Age Special Blended Scotch [1000ML]

Description

Looking for a blended Scotch whisky that delivers exceptional complexity without the premium age statement price tag?

As a certified spirits specialist at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store, I’m impressed by how Dewar’s 16 Years Double Age Special Blended Scotch showcases the brand’s innovative double aging process. This Premium expression undergoes maturation in individual casks before being married together for an additional six months in vintage oak casks—a technique that creates remarkable depth. Unlike younger expressions like the Dewar’s Caribbean Smooth Rum Cask 8 Years or the Dewar’s Japanese Smooth Mizunara Cask 8 Years, this 16-year-old offers sophisticated layering that appeals to discerning palates.

• Distillery: Dewar’s – established 1846, pioneering Scotch blending techniques
• Region: Scottish Highlands – known for balanced, approachable profiles
• ABV: 40% – perfectly calibrated for sipping without overwhelming the palate
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: 16 years in oak casks plus additional marriage period
• Tasting Notes: Honeyed richness on the nose with vanilla and heather. Palate reveals buttery toffee, gentle peat smoke, and orchard fruits. Finish is smooth with lingering oak spice
• Best Served: Neat or with a splash of water in a Glencairn glass at room temperature

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor have found this expression particularly food-friendly compared to heavier sherry-aged malts. The balanced sweetness complements rather than competes with rich Malaysian cuisine, making it surprisingly versatile for the price point at RM 280.

Ideal for: Corporate gifting, milestone celebrations, or building a well-rounded whisky collection. Pairs with: Char siu’s caramelized edges, beef rendang’s coconut richness, or aged cheeses. Recommended for: Scotch enthusiasts ready to explore beyond entry-level blends—consider the full Dewar’s aged range for comparative tasting sessions with fellow collectors.
