- Description
- A 1950s bottling of Dewar's Ancestor, a deluxe blend containing a substantial proportion of aged whisky, sealed in the characteristic springcap of the era. As one of Dewar's premium offerings, this would showcase the blender's selection of mature Speyside and Highland malts combined with grain whisky. A historical artifact of post-war Scottish blending.
