Dewar’s Double Double 36 Years
DEWAR’S Double Double 36 Year Old is an ultra-premium blended Scotch whisky created using the brand’s signature four-stage ageing process, designed to maximise harmony of flavour, texture and complexity. Aged for 36 years and finished in Madeira casks, this rare expression delivers a luxuriously smooth profile with layers of dried fruit, honeyed oak and warm spice.
At the heart of the Double Double process, single malts and single grains are first aged separately, then married, re-casked, and finally finished in carefully selected Madeira casks. This final stage brings distinctive notes of golden raisins, baked orchard fruit and sweet nuttiness, perfectly integrated with DEWAR’S famously smooth house style.
On the nose, DEWAR’S Double Double 36 Year Old opens with vanilla cream, ripe peach and hints of coconut oil, followed by honeyed fruit, toasted sugar and soft baking spice. The palate is rich and velvety, delivering waves of vanilla, stone fruits and gentle cinnamon, supported by a silky mouthfeel that coats the tongue. The finish is smooth, long and subtly smoky, with lingering notes of warm spice, honey and delicate oak.
Bottled at 46% ABV and released in limited quantities, this expression has already earned top global recognition, including Double Gold at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and Best New Scotch Release at the 2022 International Whisky Competition. It is a statement bottle for collectors, connoisseurs and prestige gifting in Malaysia, Singapore and across Asia.
