Dewars French Cask Smooth Blended 8 Yr Scotch Whisky - Item Code: 05840
Discover Dewars French Cask Smooth Blended 8 Yr Scotch Whisky:
Dewar’s is a fusion of Scotland’s whisky and France’s cognac, showcasing the surprising flavors that are emblematic of both countries through its full-bodied blend of apple and citrus overtones. Dewars French Cask Smooth is the fifth installment in a pioneering cask series, and it’s an 8-year-old blended Scotch whisky finished in Apple Brandy Casks, Calvados. For the first time, the Double Aged Dewar’s blend has been finished with this rich and fruity whisky, making an otherwise approachable and smooth whisky with an interesting twist.
John Dewar opened his wine and spirit merchant shop in Scotland in 1846; now, Dewar’s is one of the largest Scotch whiskey brands in the world. Although Dewar’s White Label remains the flagship product, the company has now branched out to produce a range of premium and super premium whiskies, including the 12 Year Old, 15 Year Old, 18 Year Old, Dewar’s Signature, and the newly released Dewar’s Scratched Cask. Whiskies made in this style are aged in Dewar’s signature oak marrying barrels. Dewar’s was the first in 1899 to see the potential of re-aging their hand-crafted blend in their original, old wood casks. For this reason, Dewar’s is the blended Scotch with the most medals and accolades in the world. It has a softer flavor with a longer aftertaste.

Scotch whiskey, a distinguished spirit originating from Scotland, is primarily made from malted barley for single malts and grains for blended varieties. This iconic drink undergoes a meticulous distillation process using pot stills for single malts and column stills for grain whiskies, followed by an aging period of at least three years in oak casks, often previously used for bourbon or sherry. The result is a diverse range of flavors and aromas that reflect the unique characteristics of its regions of origin.
Single malt Scotch typically boasts rich and complex flavors with notes of fruit, spice, smoke, peat, and oak, while blended Scotch offers a smoother profile with balanced hints of caramel, vanilla, and light smoke. The texture can vary significantly—from smooth and creamy to rich and oily—depending on the style. Scotch whiskey is versatile in its consumption; it can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks and serves as a key ingredient in classic cocktails like the Rob Roy or Blood & Sand.
