To say that Dewar’s is a big name in the blended Scotch whisky world is a massive understatement. It’s well known for its flagship expressions like Dewar’s White Label, Dewar’s 12, and Dewar’s 15, as well as its limited edition expressions. These include the recently announced Dewar’s Double Double 21-Year-Old Magma Stone Toasted.

The most recent addition to its award-winning Double Double Series, Dewar’s Double Double 21-Year-Old Magma Stone Toasted. Crafted by Master Blender Stephanie Macleod and her team, this unique expression is made up of a blend of whiskies that were all matured for at least twenty-one years and finished virgin French oak barrels that were stone toasted with Icelandic magma rock.

According to Dewar’s, this creates a truly memorable 46% ABV whisky with notes of cinnamon, cloves, caramelized sugar, baked apples, toasted cereal, and oaky wood.

“Our motivation is to always aspire to make ever greater whisky,” Stephanie Macleod, Master Blender at Dewar’s said.

“Curiosity and experimentation allow us to respond to the present and future desires of whisky lovers, and the Magma Stone Toasted expression embodies this philosophy, as we believe we are the first whisky to use this technique. We are always looking to push the boundaries and find new ways to do things, and this new finishing process has unlocked an entirely new spectrum of flavor for Scotch.”

Bib & Tucker

We’ve seen some interesting maturation techniques and finishing barrels in the whiskey world. But we’ve never seen anything like the newest expression from Bib & Tucker. That’s because, instead of finishing in a unique vessel like an ex-bourbon or even ex-port casks, Bib & Tucker Gold Roast Bourbon was finished using coffee beans (yes, you read that right).
Bib & Tucker Gold Roast Bourbon

This aptly named whiskey begins as a Tennessee bourbon matured for at least six years in new American oak barrels before being filtered using the Lincoln County process. It’s then infused by cold steeping with custom-roasted Honduras-grown Arabica beans from Tennessee-based Muletown Coffee Roasters.
