And that sense of curiosity has carried by way of to how my groups and I develop our whiskies at the moment. It was solely pure to experiment and craft a brand new aspect to the maturation course of, which has resulted in a distinctly completely different tasting expertise.”
“Having been experimenting with the affect of cask sorts on flavour and texture for the final ten years, we knew the time was proper to carry a few of what we’ve got learnt to our core vary of whiskies. We needed to take DEWAR’S 12-12 months-Outdated to the following stage and produce the thrill of high quality Scotch whisky to a brand new era of drinkers. DEWAR’S whiskies have a attribute floral and honeyed-style and we knew we may add a richer and extra advanced dimension by way of the usage of first-fill American Oak Bourbon casks.”
