DEWAR’S® Blended Scotch whisky was sustainable before sustainability was cool
A stunning Scottish landscape, hard work and steady environmental innovation encompass the sustainable success of John Dewar & Sons Ltd., one of the most respected names in the world of Scotch whisky and part of the Bacardi group of companies. Premium DEWAR’S® Blended Scotch whisky – affectionately known as True Scotch – was sustainable before sustainability was considered cool.
“Our distilleries were set in areas of tremendous natural beauty and environmentally sensitive areas before the word sustainable was being used,” says Stephanie Macleod, DEWAR’S Master Blender, referring to the establishment of DEWAR’S in 1846.
“Whether we are using barley or water in the making of our whiskies, the natural environment is crucial to us,” says Iain Lochhead, Operations Director for John Dewar & Sons Ltd. “Our goal is to leave our surroundings in same condition we find them.”
John Dewar & Sons is an industry leader, advancing more than half-a-century’s worth of spirited, sustainability practices.
