Springbank 12 year old, Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky 57.5%


Dewar Rattray Cask Collection

The quest for the ultimate dram

Is the ultimate dram a dream? Not for the fortunate few who discover their ideal.

Dewar Rattay aim to help them in their search by bottling every whisky in their cask collection at its natural cask strength and colour, without chill filtering.

One result of chill filtering is that in a cold temperature or introduction of ice or cold water the whisky may develop a slight haze, which will disappear at room temperature. The benefit is that the whisky will give a truer flavour, as the master distiller would want you to experience.
