Dewar’s Scotch Whisky has just announced the launch of Dewar’s Portuguese Smooth.
Marking the brand’s 175th anniversary this year, this new iteration of the Dewar’s Cask Series features its signature 8 year-old double-aged Blended Scotch whisky, finished in ruby port casks.
Following the launches of Dewar’s Caribbean Smooth Rum Cask Finish and Dewar’s Ilegal Smooth Mezcal Cask Finish, the third edition in the brand’s cask-finished series reflects the brand’s passion for bringing together unexpected flavor traits.
“With its full bodied yet refined mouthfeel and unique flavor profile – which features subtle notes of stone fruits, dark red fruits and honey – Dewar’s Portuguese Smooth is designed to be a veritable celebration of the two cultures of Scotland and Portugal,” says Stephanie Macleod, Master Blender for Dewar’s. “Thanks to a unique production process where the 8-year-old scotch is double aged for extra smoothness and then finished in casks that previously held fine ruby port wines, ” Dewar’s Portuguese Smooth has a satisfyingly unusual, yet super smooth, taste that is ideally enjoyed anyway you like – be it neat, on the rocks, in a highball or as a great alternative to beer and wine for food pairings. It’s really about your mood, time, place and company – be it in person or remotely.”
Dewar’s Portuguese Smooth 8-year-old port cask finish will be available for $21.99.
