New
Dewar's Whisky Aged in Rum Casks
By FBWorld Team
DEWAR'S®
Scotch Whisky, the world's most awarded blended scotch whisky,
announces today the highly anticipated launch of DEWAR'S Caribbean
Smooth: Dewar's 8 year-old double-aged Scotch, finished in Caribbean
rum casks for a tropical smooth finish. The first in a new cask-finished
series of whisky, Caribbean Smooth brings together the best
of two worlds - Scotland and the Caribbean - in a lighthearted
blend of unexpected cultures and flavors.
"We've
blended up to 40 single malts and grain whiskies that have laid
in casks for at least 8 years, double aged the blend to ensure
our distinctive extra smooth Dewar's profile, and then finished
in ex-Caribbean Rum casks for a period of around 6 months,"
says Brian Cox, Vice President, DEWAR's Scotch Whisky, North
America. "The rum casks were sourced straight from the
Caribbean and brought to our ageing warehouses in Glasgow to
be filled with our flavorful 8-year-old blend. The first in
a series of double-aged cask finishes, DEWAR'S will continue
to bring these new and exciting flavor profiles to a broader
market in order to drive renewed interest in our brand, and
thereby the whisky category."
Breaking
with the traditional conventions of whisk(e)y, DEWAR'S Caribbean
Smooth's 8-year-old rum cask finish has a flavor profile offering
brown spirit drinkers what they've been looking for - flexibility.
"With its remarkable versatility and unique flavor profile
- which features subtle notes of apple, caramel, and biscuity
cereal that slips into dark brown sugar and tropical fruit -
Caribbean Smooth is the perfect spirit to enjoy neat or in a
variety of highball recipes that pair particularly well for
epicurean gatherings," says Stephanie Macleod, Master Blender
for DEWAR's. While age statements for sprits are not the be
all, they are important for scotch whiskies because maturity
and aging counts when looking for smooth, refined flavor experiences.
Perfect
neat, or in a Highball, the flavor profile and versatility of
DEWAR'S Caribbean Smooth 8-year-old rum cask finish offers a
great alternative to beer and wine for food pairings. Signature
serves include The Coconut Highball, which reimagines the classic
highball with a refreshing blend of coconut and citrus flavors,
as well as The Cask to Colada that includes Caribbean Smooth,
fresh pineapple juice, vanilla sugar and coconut water.
