Whisky Focus - Dewar's The Drinking Man's Scotch

Dewar's The Drinking Man's Scotch


10th November 2012
Dewar's challenges category conventions with irreverent and seductive new campaign for the modern man.

Dewar's Blended Scotch whisky, the number-one selling premium blended Scotch whisky in the United States have announced a break from the tired conventions of the category for the launch of its new campaign – "Dewar's: The Drinking Man's Scotch."

The tweed and tradition image that has dominated Scotch whisky will be subverted to reintroduce Dewar's to a new generation of modern and urban men. The new Dewar's campaign will challenge the norm by bringing sensual taste, intellectual stimulation, and a hint of irreverence to the world of men in television, print and digital mediums nationwide. The campaign, which will highlight Dewar's White Label and Dewar's 12 year old, is the first time that the brand will appear on television since 2007.

The new campaign is delivered with a wink and a smile. The icon, a beautiful, alluring and mysterious Scottish woman played by Claire Forlani who is better known for her role as Lauren Hunter in NCIS Los Angeles and incidentally she isn't a Scottish woman she is actually an Englishwoman putting on a Scottish accent but i think we can overlook that detail as she certainly fits the bill of beautiful, alluring and mysterious.

In the advert Claire has the presence of a queen and the mouth of a gangster. She draws the viewer in from the moment she is seen, enticing men and pulling them into her clandestine world. She is incredibly desirable yet unattainable. She offers sharp words of wisdom to the Dewar's man – advice on living life, on drinking Scotch, on women and on being a man. She has a strong, commanding grip over the edgy, underground world of the East End of Glasgow, Scotland – a post-industrial landscape littered with intrigue, mystique and secrets – and exudes her power through her piercing attitude, cutting tongue and entrancing beauty. By displaying her strength in an edgy, yet inescapably striking way, the icon entrances men to follow her lead and step up to Dewar's Blended Scotch.
