A harmonious blend of honey sweetness, rich dark chocolate, and subtle berry notes with a warming spice finish.
Dewar's The Monarch 15 Years Old is a premium blended Scotch whisky that showcases the art of double-aging and master blending. This exceptional spirit represents a perfect harmony between tradition and innovation in Scottish whisky-making.
Whisky Making
The Monarch 15 Years Old undergoes Dewar's signature double-aging process. After the initial maturation of the individual malt and grain whiskies for at least 15 years, the blend is married together and then returned to carefully selected oak casks for an additional period of aging. This extra step helps create a remarkably smooth and well-integrated whisky.
