Dewar’s Caribbean Smooth Rum Cask 8 Years [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Scotch whisky that bridges the gap between Highland tradition and Caribbean sunshine?

Dewar’s Caribbean Smooth Rum Cask 8 Years represents an innovative approach to blended Scotch whisky, where traditional Scottish craftsmanship meets tropical influence. This expression takes up to 40 carefully selected single malt and grain whiskies, each aged for a minimum of 8 years, then finishes them in hand-selected Caribbean rum casks for 4-6 months. The result earned Gold at the International Spirits Challenge 2023, proving its exceptional quality among international judges. For whisky enthusiasts exploring cask-finished expressions, consider comparing this to the Balvenie 14 Years Caribbean Cask or the classic Dewar’s 12 Years Blended Scotch.
