White Label Blended Scotch Whisky (1 L)

When Tommy Dewar toured the United States in the 1890s promoting his father John's blend — founded in Perth in 1846 — he didn't just sell whisky; he is credited with popularising the Scotch Highball in America, a commercial instinct that shaped how blended Scotch was consumed globally.

The technical foundation behind that success was a process the house pioneered: Double Aging, in which up to 30 component single malts and grain whiskies are individually matured, blended, then returned to American oak ex-bourbon casks for a minimum six months of further marrying before bottling — a technique now standard across the industry but originating here.

The heart of White Label is Aberfeldy single malt, distilled on the eastern outskirts of Aberfeldy in Highland Perthshire using water drawn exclusively from the Pitilie Burn, a natural artesian spring that feeds into the River Tay. That iron-rich, mineral

water, combined with extra-long fermentation in larch washbacks and medium-height onion-shaped copper pot stills, produces a characteristically honeyed, waxy new make.

Supporting malts from Craigellachie's worm-tub condensers and Royal Brackla add Speyside sweetness and Highland delicacy. Bottled at 40% ABV, the marrying period delivers an unusual textural cohesion, the defining trait of the White Label.
