- DEWAR’S Signature

DEWAR’S Signature is double-aged—an extra step that the distillery takes simply because it believes is worth the time to do—which results in an exceptional smoothness and complex, lingering finish. Bonus for Dads living in New York City: Club Macanudo (26 East 63rd Street) is offering DEWAR’S Signature, as well as cigar pairings. For a more classic libation, have dad opt for the DEWAR’S Manhattan, made with DEWAR’S 18 Year Old, MARTINI Rosso vermouth, Angostura bitters, a chilled, maraschino cherry and garnished with a twist of an orange peel.
