First launched in Global Travel Retail earlier in 2022 DEWAR\u2019S Double Agent 16 Year Old is central to the ongoing mission from DEWAR\u2019S to disrupt the blended malts category with progressive innovation to appeal to new whisky appreciators.<\/p>\n

With a nod to its name and embracing the innovative and curious side of DEWAR\u2019S, the special blend in DEWAR\u2019s Double Agent 16 Year Old brings together a surprising duo of casks, in Jerez Sherry and Islay Malt Whisky, to create both sweet and smoky flavour profiles in one. This pairing enhances and amplifies the flavours of dried fruit, citrus, smoke and black pepper, balancing the two bold casks finishes to create the perfect harmony of one blend.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Selected malt whiskies and finest grain whiskies are aged separately in oak casks for a minimum of 16 years. Following maturation, the whiskies are blended together and aged once again in oak casks. On completion of the signature DEWAR\u2019S double aging process, the whisky takes a radical new direction and is separated into two batches.<\/p>\n

One batch is then finished in sweet Oloroso sherry casks and the other in smoky, peaty Islay casks. The final stage is where the art of blending really comes into its own, bringing these two liquids together, to create two interpretations, depending on the palette \u2013 a deliciously sweet whisky with secret smoky notes \u2013 or a smoky whisky with hidden sweet notes.<\/p>\n

DEWAR\u2019S Double Agent 16 Years Old: 40% ABV, 100cl. Price: US$70<\/p>\n
