This is a collectible bottle of Dewar's White Label Blended Scotch Whisky from a bygone era, specifically the 1990s. A true piece of liquid history, this bottling represents the enduring legacy of one of Scotland's most iconic whisky houses, John Dewar & Sons. Founded in Perth in 1846, Dewar's has built a global reputation for quality and consistency, a tradition embodied in this vintage expression.
First created in 1899 by the company's inaugural Master Blender, A.J. Cameron, White Label has long been the brand's cornerstone. This particular bottle hails from a time when it was already America's number-one selling Scotch, a testament to its widespread appeal. The heart of the Dewar's blend is the single malt from the Aberfeldy distillery, which provides a signature honeyed richness. This 1990s expression is a masterful marriage of up to 40 different single malts and grain whiskies, crafted to achieve the smooth, approachable character for which Dewar's is renowned.
Owning a bottle from this period offers a unique opportunity to experience a historic profile of a world-famous blend. The presentation, from the classic bottle shape to the period-specific labeling, makes it a prized item for collectors and enthusiasts seeking to appreciate the evolution of Scotch whisky. This is more than just a whisky; it is a preserved artifact from the Dewar's legacy.
The bottle's front label features the prominent "Dewar's" brand name in classic red script, above "Blended Scotch Whisky" and the definitive "White Label" designation. It proudly states "PRODUCT OF SCOTLAND" and notes its origin with "John Dewar & Sons LTD PERTH SCOTLAND". The label also indicates a volume of 750ml and an alcohol content of 40% ALC/VOL. The back label includes the iconic image of "THE DEWAR HIGHLANDER" and displays the U.S. Surgeon General's warning, a feature that helps date the bottle to post-1989. A barcode is also present, consistent with bottlings from the 1990s.
Visually, the whisky presents a light gold color inside a clear glass bottle of the traditional Dewar's shape. The labels are well-preserved, showcasing the typography and design of the era. The bottle is secured with a silver-toned screw cap, which bears the elegant script signature of "John Dewar," an assurance of authenticity and heritage. The overall condition is excellent, with a high fill level well into the neck, indicating secure storage and a well-maintained seal over the decades.
