Dewar's: Connecting with Friends or Family After a Round of Golf.
DEWAR'S 19 Year Old: The Champions Edition is the newest release from the producer of the most highly acclaimed blended Scotch whisky in the world: DEWAR'S. For the third year in a row, DEWAR'S is the official Scotch whisky partner of the 123rd U.S. Open Championship, which will be hosted at The Los Angeles Country Club (LACC) from June 15–18.
The Champions Edition was crafted by Stephanie Macleod, a four-time Master Blender of the Year, and her team and is extra-matured in hand-selected red wine barrels from neighbouring Napa Valley, a location recognised for its award-winning fine wines. With the spirit of the U.S. Open's "From Many, One" campaign in mind, up to 40 different grains and single malts were combined to create the Champions Edition. There are hints of nutmeg and berries in the background, and the finish is creamy and delicious. The USGA Foundation, which honours, supports, and promotes golf, receives a portion of the bottle's sales.
Previously, in 2022, DEWAR'S 19 Year Old was finished in new American Oak and Rye Casks, and in 2021, it was completed in first-fill ex-Bourbon barrels, all in collaboration with the USGA. DEWAR'S 19 Year Old is twice matured for added smoothness, as are all of DEWAR'S whiskies.
"I am delighted to introduce the third iteration of DEWAR'S Champion's Edition, a whisky that fittingly pays homage to the terroir of California. In previous years, we have created Scotch whiskies that offer incredible depth and breadth of flavour using the best of our Scottish terroir and finished exclusively in American Oak casks: from first fill ex-Bourbon to new, never used American Oak and Rye Casks. And this year is no different. We're celebrating another great American Oak cask seasoned by red wine from California's Napa Valley. These impart deep berry notes to the whisky. It marks the first non-fortified wine cask-finished whisky that we have created for DEWAR'S; the result is a wonderfully smooth and complex Scotch whisky, which I'm sure new and experienced Dewar's drinkers alike will enjoy," said Stephanie Macleod, Master Blender for DEWAR'S.
The DEWAR'S Lemon Wedge drink, in addition to The Champions Edition, will once again serve as the official cocktail of the U.S. Open. Enjoy the award-winning smoothness of DEWAR'S 12 Year Old whisky in this delightful cocktail, which also has lemonade and club soda and is topped with a golf tee pick and a lemon wedge.
"Connecting with friends or family after a round of golf is intrinsic to the game, with many golfers enjoying the established tradition of a round of drinks at the 19th hole. It is an important occasion for us, where golfers can both celebrate or commiserate, depending on their performance on the course, over a small dram or a refreshing highball. Whether golfers prefer sipping our DEWAR's 19 Year Old - Champion's Edition neat or enjoying the award-winning DEWAR's 12 Year Old in a DEWAR's Lemon Wedge cocktail, we toast to golf's enduring spirit of camaraderie, competition and celebration," noted Brian Cox, Vice President of DEWAR'S North America.
