Dewar's 'Ne Plus Ultra' 12 Year Old Blended Scotch - 1950's Bottling

Dewar’s was founded by John Dewar Sr. in 1846. Under the leadership of his sons, John A. Dewar Jr. and Thomas “Tommy” Dewar, the brand expanded internationally by the late 19th century. Tommy Dewar helped promote the brand globally through extensive travel and publicity, documented in his book Ramble Round the Globe. In 1896 the company established Aberfeldy Distillery to secure malt whisky for its blends.

This bottle is Dewar’s “Ne Plus Ultra” 12 Year Old blended Scotch whisky, produced by John Dewar & Sons in Perth, Scotland. Bottled at 86.8 proof in a 4/5 quart format and imported to the United States by Schenley Import Corporation, it is presented in a mid-20th-century style bottle with original packaging.
