PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Dewar’s Portuguese Smooth is a thoughtful twist on the classic Dewar’s “Double-Aged” blend: finishing it in Port wine casks adds fruity richness and depth while preserving the blend’s approachable smoothness. It’s neither too heavy nor overly experimental — a solid choice for drinkers curious about cask finishes without straying too far from a familiar Scotch whisky experience.
Dewar’s Portuguese Smooth is part of Dewar’s “Smooth” cask series — specialized finishing expressions exploring global cask influence. Dewar’s names this “Portuguese Smooth” to highlight the fruit-inspired influence of Port.
It is an 8-year-old blended Scotch whisky, taking the base Dewar’s blend aged 8 years, then finished in Ruby Port wine casks for a period (≈6 months).
ABV / Proof: Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
| Component | Notes & Characteristics |
|---|---|
| Nose / Aroma | Dark fruits (red berries, plum, cherry), honeyed malt, soft oak, and hints of spice. |
| Palate / Taste | Rich and fruity — stewed red fruit, port sweetness, honey, light vanilla, and subtle oak tannin. |
| Finish | Smooth and lingering, with fruit echoes (port influence), mild spice, and a touch of oak dryness. |
“On the palate, the whisky offers a harmonious balance of ripe red fruits, honey, and dark chocolate, with subtle hints of cinnamon and dried figs.”
Serve: Neat, or with a splash of water to bring out the fruit notes. Use a tulip / Glencairn glass to appreciate the aromas.
Pairings:
• Desserts featuring berry or stone fruit (e.g. cherry tart, berry compote)
• Dark chocolate — especially with cherry or red fruit inclusion
• Soft or creamy cheeses (brie, camembert)
• Grilled meats with fruit-based sauces (pork, game with berry glaze)
