With guest speakers ranging from Scottish comedian and writer Fern Brady, to environmentalist Libby Penman, the evenings will connect remarkable minds and engage the audience with tales of intrigue, synonymous with the world’s most awarded Blended Scotch Whisky.

Tuesday 14th May, London: The series of captivating conversations will be hosted by television star, Anna Richardson, and guests will be encouraged to immerse themselves in tales of exploration and discovery, whilst enjoying a bespoke cocktail featuring Dewar’s 12-Year-Old.

In the heart of the city, Voyage of Buck will welcome award-winning nature photographer and environmentalist, Libby Penman, and adventurer, Amar Latif, whose blindness does not stop his passion for travel. Nauticus in Edinburgh's Leith will host esteemed Scottish menswear designer, Kestin, as well as comedian and writer, Fern Brady. These four evenings across Edinburgh will be rich with conversations of travel and trailblazing, encouraging captivating conversations which reflect the remarkable and enduring spirit of Dewar’s Blended Scotch Whisky.

DEWAR’S commitment to the discovery and creation of new and exciting whiskies is fuelled by the brand’s pioneering spirit. The dedication to the art of blended whisky can be traced back to the first Master Blender, AJ Cameron, who pioneered the double aging method.

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. DEWAR’S has expanded its family to create a portfolio of premium and super premium whiskies including DEWAR’s 12-Years Old, DEWAR’s 15- Years Old, DEWAR’s 18-Years Old, DEWAR’s Double Double Series, DEWAR’s Caribbean Smooth and the exclusive DEWAR’s 25. These whiskies are crafted using the DEWAR’s oak marrying ageing process, which involves returning the hand-crafted blend to vintage oak casks for further maturation. The result is a smoother taste with a long, lingering finish; a taste that wins medals and applause, making DEWAR’s the world's most awarded blended Scotch. The DEWAR’s brand is part of the portfolio of Bacardi Limited, headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda. Bacardi Limited refers to the Bacardi group of companies, including Bacardi International Limited.
