Dewar’s French Cask Smooth Scotch Whisky

Dewar’s French Cask Smooth Blended Scotch Whisky is a NAS expression from the Dewar’s range finished in French oak wine barrels — adding the aromatic, fruity, and light spice character of French oak to the smooth, accessible Dewar’s blended Scotch base, producing a more wine-influenced profile than the standard range expressions.

French oak (from Limousin or other French forests) differs from American white oak and Spanish European oak in its aromatic compounds — producing more floral, fruity, and fine spice character rather than the vanilla of American oak or the dried fruit of Spanish sherry oak. The French wine barrel finishing adds these characteristics to the Dewar’s base. Browse all Scotch whisky at Wooden Cork.
