Celebrating the 124th U.S. Open in Pinehurst,
the newest iteration of DEWAR'S 19 Year Old - The Champion's
Edition is finished in First-Fill Rye Whisky Casks
HAMILTON, Bermuda, May 21, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- DEWAR'S® Blended Scotch Whisky
introduces the fourth iteration of DEWAR'S 19 Year Old - The
Champion's Edition. Crafted to honor the enduring collaboration
between DEWAR'S and the U.S. Open Championship, this
limited-edition whisky celebrates the 124th U.S. Open Championship
at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club.
Described as the cradle of American golf, the Pinehurst Resort
& Country Club was originally designed by Scotland-born
Donald Ross as a stateside golf club
along the sands of the Carolinas that harkened back to his
homeland. With a similar mission to bridge rich heritage and modern
innovation, DEWAR'S Blended Scotch Whisky honors the best of
Scotland, Scotch, and golf with the release of DEWAR'S 19 Year Old
– The Champion's Edition.
Crafted under the expertise of five-time Master Blender of the
Year, Stephanie Macleod , at 43% ABV
for a nuanced flavor profile, the 2024 expression showcases
the brand's signature double aging process and is finished in
first-fill rye whisky casks, producing a Blended Scotch Whisky that
is as rich and refined as the sport of golf itself. Commencing with
ripe notes of pear and heather honey, it evolves into a spicy
tapestry, imparting hints of cinnamon and cocoa powder that gently
warms the palate, leading to a refreshing finish.
Continuing its tradition, DEWAR'S 19 Year Old - The Champion's
Edition returns for its fourth year, having previously finished in
Napa Valley red wine casks in
2023, American oak & rye casks in 2022, and first-fill
ex-bourbon casks in 2021.
Additionally, at the 124th U.S. Open, DEWAR'S proudly
reintroduces the official cocktail of the championship, the Lemon
Wedge. The refreshing, citrus-forward cocktail features the
acclaimed DEWAR'S 12 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky, and is
infused with lemonade and club soda, delivering the perfect
accompaniment for enjoying every moment of the
competition.
Stephanie Macleod, Master
Blender for DEWAR'S commented: "Crafting DEWAR'S 19 Year Old –
The Champion's Edition for the 124th U.S. Open has been a
remarkable journey, echoing the precision and finesse of the sport
itself. The marriage of our distinguished 19 Year Old whisky, a
unique age statement within the category, with the distinctive
character of first-fill rye whisky casks has resulted in a symphony
of flavors that pays homage to both the rich heritage of Scotch
whisky and the enduring allure of golf. With each sip, the liquid
reveals notes of cinnamon and cocoa, leading to a smooth finish
that lingers on the palate."
Brian Cox, Vice President of
DEWAR's North America
commented: "Throughout the centuries, golf has woven a tapestry
of camaraderie, competition, and celebration—a tradition cherished
by enthusiasts worldwide. With the release of Dewar's 19 Year Old –
The Champion's Edition for the 124th U.S. Open, we honor this
timeless connection between the sport and the shared moments that
follow. Just as golfers gather at the 19th hole to recount their
tales of the course, this special-edition whisky becomes an
integral part of this ritual—a companion to the stories shared, the
bonds strengthened, and the memories made."
Making the perfect Father's Day gift this season, the fourth
iteration of the DEWAR'S 19 Year Old – The Champion's Edition
commemorative bottle will be available in limited quantities,
exclusively at select fine wines and spirits retailers, as well as
online via our website.
