Chin Up, Gin Up – Spring Hath Sprung With Dewar’s Scotch Whisky

June 8, 2023

Dewar’s has released Dewar’s 19-Year-Old, its 2023 commemorative US Open bottle, aptly entitled “The Champions Edition”!

This year’s US Open bottle is a 19-Year-Old Scotch Whisky double-aged with an extra-matured finish exclusively in new American Oak casks and ex-Rye Whiskey casks, from Napa Valley. The Champion’s Edition was inspired by the ethos of the U.S. Open’s “From Many, One” campaign, bringing together up to 40 grain and single malt whiskies. It features notes of red berries and black cherries, which resolve into a rich and fruity finish with a hint of nutmeg. Part of the bottle proceeds go towards the USGA Foundation, which celebrates, serves, and advances the game of golf.

In addition to the bottle, this year is the Dewar’s Lemon Wedge (recipe below) which will serve as the official cocktail of the 123rd U.S. Open Championship, held at The Los Angeles Country Club (LACC), June 15-18. This signature cocktail will be offered to patrons on the course however, for the golf fans who cannot make it to the fairway but want to raise a toast to the game and Father’s Day at home, Dewar’s has created a cocktail kit available nationwide, see HERE which serves as another great gift for dad this year.

The kit is available via Cocktail Courier’s website and include all the ingredients and tools needed to experience a piece of the US Open from the comfort of home with family and friends – like lemon juice, soda water, Dewar’s 12-Year-Old, garnish, and accessories to style the cocktail like golf balls and tees.
