Just in time to celebrate the year’s most prestigious major championship, Dewar’s, the world’s most awarded blended Scotch whisky, has created a 19-year-old “Champions Edition” that’s sure to please both malted-grain aficionados and 19th-hole newbies alike.
Inspired by the USGA’s U.S. Open championship motto, “From Many, One,” three-time master blender of the year Stephanie Macleod utilized a number of new American oak and rye casks to produce one show-stopping championship blend.
The bold and balanced spirit features notes of heather honey, butterscotch and cinnamon spice, which resolve in a rich, fruity finish.
As part of a multiyear partnership with the USGA, Dewar’s Champions Edition blend, which first debuted at last year’s U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, will be sold in a special limited-edition commemorative bottle, both online and in select markets.
Part of the proceeds from each sale will benefit the USGA Foundation, which was established to secure resources to enhance the on-course experience for all players.
As a four-year member of Columbia’s inaugural class of female varsity golfers, Jessica can out-birdie everyone on the masthead. She can out-hustle them in the office, too, where she’s primarily responsible for producing both print and online features, and overseeing major special projects, such as GOLF’s inaugural Style Issue, which debuted in February 2018. Her original interview series, “A Round With,” debuted in November of 2015, and appeared in both in the magazine and in video form on GOLF.com.
