Renowned Scotch whisky empire Dewar’s has launched a new flavor in the U.S. Dewar’s Highlander Honey is the product of infusing Scottish honey, along with natural flavors, into the original Dewar’s White Label blend. The honey brings a delicious sweetness with a pleasing bite to a new and modern consumer. “Dewar’s Highlander Honey delivers fantastic notes of honey, but still retains the treasured characteristics of the original blend, which is renowned for its complex taste profile and its unparalleled smoothness,” says Stephanie Macleod, Master Blender for Dewar’s. “By using Dewar’s White Label as the core for Dewar’s Highlander Honey, the infusion process builds on the already present honey aromas found in the blend and creates an exceptionally well-rounded and harmonious taste profile that “The Drinking Man” has come to expect from Dewar’s.”
Dewar’s Highlander Honey is the first product in a new ‘Highlander’ range of products that will include unique expressions of Dewar’s Blended Scotch Whisky infused with natural flavors. The range will include innovations showcasing both traditional and indigenous Scottish ingredients. The new Dewar’s Highlander Honey ($23.99 per 750 mL bottle) is perfect on the rocks, in a chilled shot, or in a cocktail. Try out one of these two great recipes and see for yourself.
