The Deacon is a masterful blend of both smoky Speyside and peaty Islay malt whiskies, making for a complex, rich, and smoky dram. In the blend, the single malts from Islay have a characteristic peaty smoke flavour, while the single malts from the mainland have a bonfire-like smoke character. A nose of charred orange, sweet malty biscuits and woodsmoke gives way to juicy orange on the palate along with delicate spice, and tangy peat. The finish is both sweet and smoky, long and smooth.

DEWAR’S 18 Blended Scotch Whisky is a blend of very rare vintage single malt and single grain Scotch whiskies, hence the nickname, “The Vintage.” Each bottle includes whiskies from the five single malt distilleries owned by John Dewar and Sons. The whiskies are then married in vintage oak casks. This special blend is creamy with notes of honey and marzipan.

Dewar’s Double Double 27-Year-Old is finished in Palo Cortado sherry casks, this blend delivers heady, aromatic, floral notes with honeyed fruits and subtle spice and the characteristic silky smooth finish.

It was created by Matthew Gloag’s company after he was asked to supply wines for a royal banquet with Queen Victoria in attendance. His son, William, perfected a blend named The Grouse, renaming it The Famous Grouse in 1905. Around eighty years later, the company was awarded a Royal Warrant.

Blending premium whisky isn’t just something they do, it has been the foundation of their craft since 1800. Famous Grouse bring together the finest ingredients to create a natural spirit before the passing of time imparts the wonderful flavour from their handcrafted casks.

Add to this the fusion of skilled craftsmen and a tenacious obsession with quality and you arrive at the Famous, rich, sweet, well-rounded whisky. The blend represents great value for money, and it also works beautiful in whisky-based cocktails.
