DEWAR'S "WHITE LABEL"
Certain fine whiskies from the hills and glens of Scotland are blended into every drop of Dewar's "White Label." 
Before blending, every one of these selected whiskies is rested and matured in its own snug vat.
Then, one by one they're brought together by the skilled hand of the master blender of Perth.
