The fame of the world\u2019s most awarded Scotch whiskies from John Dewar & Sons Ltd has spread around the world, now these finely crafted products are finally available to Scotch lovers in South Africa.<\/p>\n

Originating in the Highlands of Scotland in 1892 by founder John Dewar, every drop of Dewar\u2019s condenses whisky wisdom acquired over many lifetimes. John left his business to his sons, Tommy and John, who together grew the brand into a global success story.<\/p>\n

A charismatic marketing man, Tommy wanted his family\u2019s whisky to be the world\u2019s most famous Scotch. He left Scotland to establish Dewar\u2019s in London, and undertook a promotional tour of the world which increased the reach and reputation of his product tenfold.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>\n

\u201cMore than a century later, Dewar\u2019s dedication to craftsmanship and time-honoured traditions remain vital to the creation of our classic character and keynotes of our whiskies,\u201d said Master Distiller Stephanie Macleod.\u201cWhat makes Dewar\u2019s true Scotch is it was the first blended Scotch whisky to be branded and bottled, and we are proud to say that it is still crafted in the same way today as it was in 1846.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is not only the most awarded blended Scotch whisky in the world but also the only one chosen to supply the royal household for over 100 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cDewar\u2019s has had a Royal Warrant from every British Monarch since Queen Victoria in 1893 which makes us unique. We\u2019re looking forward to giving South African Scotch drinkers the same royal treatment.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Four products from the John Dewar\u00a0&\u00a0Sons\u00a0Fine Scotch Whisky Emporium have arrived in South Africa: Dewar\u2019s 12-year-old, Dewar\u2019s 15-year-old, and a 12-year-old and an 18-year old from the sought-after Aultmore Distillery. These and other whiskies in the portfolio were among an impressive 15 medal haul at the 17th San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC) in May.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>\n

\u201cKnown as \u2018The Ancestor\u2019, Dewar\u2019s 12-year-old single malt grain whiskey is aged in hand-selected oak casks for a minimum of 12 years. The blend, which won a Gold medal at the SFWSC, stretches back over many decades, hence the name \u2018The Ancestor\u2019. It has a palate of honey, home-made toffee apples and fudge, with a nose of fresh citrus, subtle vanilla and melted caramel,\u201d Macleod said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The sophisticated Dewar\u2019s 15-year-old is known as \u2018The Monarch\u2019 and is expertly crafted by Macleod. This whisky, which also won Gold at the SFWSC, is named after a painting from 1851 by Sir Edwin Landseer called \u2018The Monarch of the Glen\u2019, purchased by John Dewar\u2019s son Tommy in 1916.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur 15-year-old has a golden honey and decadent toffee sauce flavour, delicate floral aromas, and is smooth and well-rounded.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/div><\/div>\n

Often shrouded in fog, Aultmore distillery exudes a secretive air, suited to the rare Speyside malt whisky which originates within. Known locally as \u2018a nip of the Buckie Road,\u2019 the distillery\u2019s water filters down through the misty, mysterious area called the Foggie Moss.<\/p>\n

\u201cAultmore is rated top-class and is a dram sought after for its gentle grassy notes.\u201cThe malted barley used to make this whisky is entirely free from peat smoke which ensures its exceptionally smooth and clean taste in which green, grassy notes abound.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The limited edition range includes a 12-year-old and an 18-year old, which were awarded Gold and Double Gold medals at the SFWSC respectively.<\/p>\n
