B acardi Global Travel Retail has chosen TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition & Conference to feature the latest progressive innovation from its DEWAR’S blended Scotch whisky portfolio. DEWAR’S DOUBLE DOUBLE 21 Year Old STONE TOASTED is one of the key whisky innovations launching this year, with a travel retail exclusive Discovery Pack of two expressions to feature exclusively with China Duty Free Group throughout May. The Discovery Pack includes two 75cl whisky expressions bottled at 46% ABV, with natural colour and no chill-filtration; DEWAR’S DOUBLE DOUBLE 21 Year Old STONE TOASTED with magma, using American Oak and French Oak casks. STONE TOASTED is the latest iteration of the DEWAR’S series, highlighting new ways to enhance flavour possibilities through cask maturation. The new expressions showcase the influence of oak and how it is seasoned. “DEWAR’S is constantly innovating, so it’s only natural to explore how new flavour experiences can be created for our whisky drinkers,” explained Master Blender Stephanie Macleod. “The Stone Toasting method was originally created for finishing wine, and we were intrigued to explore the effect on whisky. This series is all about showcasing the impact of the oak on the finishing liquid: American versus French, toasting levels and the source of the heat. Gently toasting the wood slowly opens the oak, which extracts softer, silkier textures and more refined, richer flavours from the cask.” Basement 2/2-E11 Bacardi introduces DEWAR’S DOUBLE DOUBLE 21 Year Old STONE TOASTED Grupo Osborne: “global ambassadors of Spanish gastronomy” offer a taste of authentic Cinco Jotas ham Tax Free World Association 23-25, rue de Berri 75008 Paris France Tel : +33 1 40 74 09 86 Fax : +33 1 40 74 09 85 FranckWaechter Managing Director f.waechter@tfwa.com Cécile Lamotte Marketing Director c.lamotte@tfwa.com Produced by: Ian Hill Publisher ian@pps-publications.com Paul Hogan Managing Director paul@pps-publications.com Ross Falconer Managing Editor ross@pps-publications.com Jessica Mason Assistant Editor TomAspel Head Designer tom@aspelcreative.com Grant Pritchard Photographer photography@grantpritchard.co.uk PPS Publications Ltd post@pps-publications.com © PPS Publications Ltd 2024 O ur primary objective at the TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition & Conference is to expand our partnerships with leading Asian operators,” says Cathy Rolland, Grupo Osborne’s Global Travel Retail Manager.
