This latest innovation from DEWAR'S is a one-off in the award-winning Double Double series, with the liquid finished in an active rye cask for the first time. This is a limited release of only 50 bottles available for public purchase.
BlockBar democratizes access to luxury wine and spirits whilst offering bottle owners storage, insurance and a marketplace to resell their bottles. Upon purchase of this rare, small batch premium blend of DEWAR'S Double Double 21 Year-Old Rye Cask Finish, the physical version will be held securely by BlockBar, with a record of authenticity held on the blockchain as a digital certificate of ownership. The bottle owner may 'burn the NFT' to redeem the physical bottle and have it delivered from BlockBar's secure storage facility, resell it on the BlockBar.com marketplace, gift it or showcase it in their virtual bar.
DEWAR'S Double Double 21 Year-Old Rye Cask is part of the DEWAR'S Double Double Series and is inspired by the brand's deep history of double-aging whisky and a relentless pursuit of innovation. This one-of-a-kind liquid crafted by Master Blender Stephanie Macleod – featuring the Double Double Series' unprecedented four-step aging process – delivers subtle notes of warm wood spices, creamy vanilla, caramel shortcake and chocolate orange.
Each bottle owner of this drop will be invited to an exclusive virtual whisky tasting with DEWAR'S award-winning master blender, Stephanie Macleod.
"DEWAR'S Double Double Series has already won multiple accolades in the whisky world, including World's Best Whisky, and was born out of a desire to create ultimate smoothness. It was curiosity and inventiveness that led us to the four-step aging process and has led us to new ways for consumers to experience our brand. This time it's in the form of an NFT, redeemable for an exclusive blend – DEWAR'S Double Double 21 Year-Old Rye Cask Finish – which we are sure will delight a new audience of NFT collectors and whisky connoisseurs alike," said Stephanie Macleod, DEWAR'S Master Blender.
"We are delighted that DEWAR'S has chosen to drop their inaugural NFT on BlockBar.com," commented Dov Falic, co-founder and CEO of BlockBar. "We look forward to offering the DEWAR'S community and ours not only this exclusive release, but storage, insurance and a marketplace for reselling this release."
Only 50 bottles will be made available for public purchase from a total allocation of 350, with the remaining bottles gifted to employees.
50 bottles of DEWAR'S Double Double 21 Year-Old Rye Cask Finish will drop exclusively on BlockBar.com, at 10AM EST on Tuesday 8th November 2022. Priced at $150 USD, the NFTs will be available to purchase with ETH and credit card and customers will have 10 minutes to check out.

About DEWAR'S
Founded in 1846 by John Dewar, DEWAR'S has grown from a small wine and spirits merchant shop in Scotland, to one of the largest Scotch whisky brands in the world.
