Dewar's 'Caribbean Smooth' 8 Year Old Rum Cask Finish Blended Scotch Whisky originates from Scotland, showcasing the brand's expertise in blending up to 40 single malts and grain whiskies. Each whisky is aged for a minimum of eight years and undergoes a second maturation to ensure balance and complexity. The blend is finished in ex-Caribbean rum casks for up to six months, infusing a tropical twist into the traditional Scotch profile.
The palate offers a smooth and vibrant experience, with notes of ripe pineapple, brown sugar, vanilla, and subtle toffee. The rum cask influence adds hints of molasses and a soft spice that complement the whisky's malty undertones. Aromas of citrus, dried fruits, and light oak further enhance its complexity, making it both approachable and layered.
With an alcohol content of 40%, this Scotch is versatile for neat sipping or over ice, but it also shines in cocktails. It pairs exceptionally well with tropical mixers like coconut water or passion fruit juice, creating refreshing blends that celebrate the union of Caribbean sweetness and Scotch refinement.
