Sips & Sites & Bites

There’s something about June that just feels made for great golf and even better whiskey … and this year, Dewar’s is giving both a proper moment in the spotlight.

Timed perfectly with Father’s Day and the 126th U.S. Open, Dewar’s has rolled out a limited release that feels tailor-made for the occasion. Meet Dewar’s 19 Year Old “The Champion’s Edition,” a refined Scotch that celebrates the ritual of raising a glass after a day on the course … whether you actually played 18 holes or just watched every swing from the couch.

This special edition leans into its golf roots in a thoughtful way. With the championship returning to Shinnecock Hills, Dewar’s took inspiration from the surrounding Hamptons landscape, finishing the whisky in Cabernet Franc casks sourced from Wölffer Estate Vineyard. The result is a layered pour that brings a little vineyard elegance into the world of Scotch.

In the glass, it’s everything you’d want from a celebratory dram. Expect soft floral notes like violet, balanced by ripe blackcurrant, golden honey, and a swirl of syrupy red berries. There’s also a gentle warmth of cinnamon that lingers just enough to remind you this is a whisky meant to be savored slowly … preferably in good company.

Crafted by Master Blender Stephanie Macleod, the 19-year maturation speaks to tradition, patience, and craftsmanship … qualities that feel right at home alongside the precision of championship golf. At around $79.99 and 43% ABV, it also hits that sweet spot as a thoughtful Father’s Day gift that feels special without being out of reach.

Of course, not every golf moment calls for a neat pour. Sometimes you want something light, refreshing, and easy to sip between shots, or between commercials. That’s where Dewar’s brings back a fan favorite.

The Lemon Wedge Cocktail

Bright, simple, and made for summer afternoons, this is the official cocktail of the U.S. Open and an easy win for your Father’s Day lineup.

Ingredients:
