Dewar’s debuts Port cask-finished whisky
29th January, 2021 by Nicola Carruthers
Bacardi-owned Dewar’s has released a blended Scotch whisky finished in Port casks as the third expression in its Cask Series.
Dewar’s Portuguese Smooth is the third cask-finished bottling from the brand
The new Dewar’s Portuguese Smooth is an eight-year-old blend finished in ruby Port casks. The release coincides with the brand’s 175
th anniversary this year.
Brian Cox, vice president, Dewar’s, North America, said: “The whisky category has a certain mythology of its own, replete with traditional conventions. We created the Dewar’s cask-finished series to break the mould and evolve those traditions by bringing two product elaboration cultures together – in this case from Scotland and Portugal – to create something richer.”
