DEWAR’S, the World’s Most Awarded Blended Scotch Whisky, has launched the next chapter of DEWAR’S Discoveries in India in collaboration with Australian celebrity chef, restaurateur and television personality Sarah Todd. The initiative brings together Todd’s deep connection with India’s diverse culinary heritage and DEWAR’S longstanding legacy of craftsmanship to create immersive experiences celebrating flavour, culture and discovery.
The DEWAR’S Discoveries journey debuted in Udaipur with an exclusive chef-led culinary experience exploring the relationship between regional Indian cuisine and Scotch whisky. The programme will subsequently travel across Kolkata, Goa, Jaipur, Delhi, Bengaluru and Mumbai, with each destination offering a distinct interpretation of India’s culinary culture.
At the Udaipur experience, Sarah Todd presented a multi-course menu inspired by her culinary explorations across India. Each course was paired with specially crafted DEWAR’S serves, bringing together regional ingredients, local flavours and culinary influences with the art of whisky blending.
The collaboration also introduces an exclusive festive gifting collection featuring limited-edition DEWAR’S Discoveries gift packs. Each pack features the award-winning DEWAR’S 12 Year Old and draws inspiration from one of India’s four regions—North, South, East and West.
Designed as a celebration of India’s cultural and culinary diversity, the packaging reflects the flavours, heritage and character associated with each region. Todd’s years of travel across India, along with her appreciation for its ingredients, people and culinary traditions, form a central part of the DEWAR’S Discoveries narrative.
Goodies Narayanan, Marketing Director – CMO, India at Bacardi, said, “DEWAR’S and Sarah Todd are united by a shared passion for discovery and an uncompromising pursuit of excellence. As the world’s most awarded blended Scotch and one of the culinary world’s most celebrated innovators, we believe the best way to experience a culture is through its flavours and stories. DEWAR’S Discoveries brings that belief to life through immersive culinary experiences and thoughtfully curated festive gifts that invite consumers to discover, share and celebrate the richness of India.”
Following its Udaipur debut, the initiative will move through six additional destinations, including Kolkata, Goa, Jaipur, Delhi, Bengaluru and Mumbai. At selected partner bars and restaurants, Sarah Todd will develop menus inspired by each destination, while expert bartenders will create DEWAR’S serves interpreting regional flavours.
Chef Sarah Todd said, “India continues to inspire me every time I visit. Whether it’s an unfamiliar ingredient, a local recipe passed down through generations, or a unique regional tradition, there is always something new to uncover. What I love about DEWAR’S Discoveries is that it celebrates that sense of openness and adventure, backed by 180 years of heritage. This journey allows me to share some of the places, flavours and stories that have shaped my relationship with India, bringing them together through memorable food and whisky experiences across the country.”
The limited-edition DEWAR’S Discoveries gift packs will be available nationwide from September, offering consumers a festive gifting option inspired by India’s regional cultures and flavours.
With this initiative, DEWAR’S aims to bring its spirit of exploration to festive celebrations while creating new connections between Indian culinary traditions and Scotch whisky craftsmanship.
