DEWAR'S SCOTCH WHISKY RETURNS TO THE U.S. OPEN, DEBUTING THE NEWEST ITERATION OF "THE CHAMPIONS EDITION" 19 YEAR OLD WHISKY
HAMILTON, Bermuda, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DEWAR'S® Blended Scotch Whisky proudly announces the release of the fifth iteration of DEWAR'S 19 Year Old The Champions Edition, in celebration of the 125th U.S. Open held at Oakmont Country Club in Pittsburgh, PA. This limited-edition, collector's bottle honors the continued partnership between the two iconic brands, celebrating the craftsmanship, prestige, and legacy found in both the world of golf and fine whisky.
Finished in Calvados Apple Brandy Casks, this year's edition honors apple brandy's historic ties to Pennsylvania, where the region's abundant apples have been utilized for brandy production as far back as the 18th century. This release continues DEWAR'S tradition of innovative cask finishes that define The Champions Edition series, following in the footsteps of past expressions including Rye Casks in 2024, Napa Valley Red Wine Casks in 2023, American Oak & Rye Casks in 2022, and First-Fill Ex-Bourbon Casks in 2021.
Six-time Master Blender of the Year, Stephanie Macleod, once again applies DEWAR'S distinctive double aging process to create a whisky that is as smooth as it is complex. Showcasing a vibrant flavor profile of green apple, apricot, and dried citrus, carefully selected to reflect the nuance and heritage of both DEWAR'S and the region it nods to.
'With each new edition of Dewar's 19 Year Old, we challenge ourselves to explore a finish that both elevates the whisky and tells a deeper story. For this year's expression, the Calvados Apple Brandy Casks offered a beautiful synergy with our double aged whisky, bringing layers of orchard fruit, subtle spice, and a delicate richness. Creating a finish that not only enhances the flavor profile, but also nods to Pennsylvania's historical connection to apple brandy.' - Stephanie Macleod, Master Blender
To further elevate the experience, DEWAR'S has also partnered with acclaimed Two Michelin Star Chef Gabriel Kreuther to create bespoke whisky infused golf ball chocolates. These limited edition chocolates, designed as the perfect pairing for Father's Day, highlight and complement the whisky with flavor notes of dark chocolate ganache & cookie praline. The creation of these chocolates is in continuation of DEWAR's ongoing partnership with Chef Kreuther where he previously created chocolates for the launch of DEWAR's Double Double 38 Year Old. The golf ball chocolates will be available exclusively at KreutherChocolate.com while supplies last.
At the tournament, fans can enjoy the Lemon Wedge, the U.S. Open's signature cocktail, crafted with award-winning DEWAR'S 12 Year Old, lemonade, and club soda. Refreshing and simple, it's the perfect serve whether you're enjoying the championship at home or on the course.
'Our partnership with the U.S. Open is rooted in a shared commitment to heritage, excellence, and pushing the boundaries of our craft. Now in its fifth year, The Champions Edition has become a symbol of that connection, celebrating not just a world-class tournament, but also the artistry and tradition behind every bottle of DEWAR'S. We're proud to once again raise a glass to the players, the fans, and the moments that make the U.S. Open the time honored tradition it is.' - Brain Cox, Global Vice President of Scotch Whisky
The fifth iteration of the DEWAR'S 19 Year Old Champions Edition commemorative bottle will be available in limited quantities just in time for Father's Day, exclusively at select fine wines and spirits retailers, as well as online via our website.

Video: Owner Proves That Golden Retriever Raised Little Boy
It is a common belief that parents raise their kids, but this video suggests otherwise. The clip shows how a Golden Retriever and a little boy share similar traits, making the parents believe that it is their golden fur baby who has been raising their son all along. The striking similarities have left viewers amused. The video of the Golden Retriever and the little boy has gained more than 229K likes at the time of writing. Owner gives proof that their son was raised by Golden Retriever in cute video It is a general notion that 'like father, like son.' But in this case, the parents believe it is 'like Golden Retrievers, like son.' To support their theory, the parents uploaded a video on @beaunosebones showing the habits their little boy named Frankie has picked up from their beloved pooch, Beau, proving their 'son was raised by a Golden Retriever.' The clip shows Frankie 'tilts head' sideways just like the fur baby when 'in confusion.' They both even smile in the same way, 'with tongue out.' Eating 'with no hands' is yet another habit that the little boy has picked up from the golden fur ball. Moreover, Frankie 'pants' and loves to play 'fetch' with his parents much like his 4-year-old furry sibling. But what stands out is that the toddler 'always has a toy in his mouth,' just like their four-legged companion. As the last proof, the parents say, 'The drool at the end is extra evidence…' that their son takes after their 'The Goodest Boy,' Beau. The similarities between the Golden Retriever and the little boy in the video have drawn attention online. Users reacted in the comments, with one saying, 'That's super cute especially the pants of excitement n happiness.' Another user wrote, 'This is just so good!.' Meanwhile, another person mentioned, 'Haha they learn so much from their surroundings.' A pet lover agreed and commented, 'Both are very smart and well raised.'

'Alien: Earth' Is Surprisingly Cinematic, a Bit Gross and a Whole Lot of Awesome
If you ask me, it's a great time to be an Alien fan. Last year's Alien: Romulus offered a fun, nostalgic taste of what made the Alien movies so iconic. It was the perfect appetizer for what's coming next. Of course, I am speaking about Alien: Earth. It's been about five years since FX officially announced the Noah Hawley project and, now, with the show just days away from premiering (the first two episodes drop on Tuesday, Aug. 12, on Hulu, FX and Disney Plus), I am here to squash your worries. Alien: Earth is good. In fact, it's pretty epic. Heck, I'd go so far as to say it's the best Alien story I've seen since James Cameron put Sigourney Weaver in a power loader back in 1986. Needless to say, I have a lot to say about the eight episodes I've seen -- and I'm going to do so as spoiler-free as possible. Still, if you want to avoid any details about the show, I advise you to tread lightly. Read more: Hulu to Fully Combine With Disney Plus and Expand Globally: What We Know Alien: Earth does something no other installment of the franchise has dared to do: It puts the majority of the story on Earth. The year is 2120, just two years before Ellen Ripley's (Weaver) fight for survival takes place on the Nostromo. In this world, five tech corporations govern the people: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold. Up until now, we've only heard of Weyland-Yutani. Adding the other companies to the mix and exploring their political conflicts and fight for power opens up the story and broadens things a bit from the usual monster-versus-innocent-crew-members formula we've come to expect from an Alien story. The Xenomorph is still very much the focal point of the series, don't get me wrong. However, Alien: Earth introduces a few new concepts to the mix: Cyborgs (humans augmented with machine parts), hybrids (synthetic bodies controlled by human consciousness) and a collection of insidious space insects that add new horrors besides the face-hugging variety. You can't really replicate the initial shock that audiences felt after watching Alien for the first time. Sure, a chest-bursting sequence in an Alien movie can be unsettling to watch. But these gruesome scenes are expected and have become formulaic. Hawley knows this and that's why he and his team brought an assortment of creepy-crawlies to the mix. The result is gross and gory; the inclusion of these space bugs delivers a collection of body horror sequences that left me, more than once, shouting in disgust at the TV. That's high praise coming from me. Building an original world such as this is only as enthralling as the characters who populate it and the talent slate really delivers the emotional stakes on all accounts. While Timothy Olyphant is the biggest name on the call sheet, each of the main players -- Sydney Chandler (who plays Wendy), Alex Lawther (who plays Hermit), Samuel Blenkin (who plays Boy Kavalier) and Babou Ceesay (who plays Morrow) -- delivers tenfold. Audiences have never seen Olyphant play a character like the synthetic Kirsh. He's enigmatic in his stillness and leaves you regularly guessing whose side he is on. As wonderful as he is, it's Chandler who carries the show. Wendy is the emotional entry point for the audience and probably the most complex of all the characters. She is also an advanced synthetic human infused with the consciousness of a child. Her youthful discovery of the world around her bumps up against her newfound responsibility to Prodigy, the company in charge of her synth existence. She strives to reconcile her human identity of the past while trying to make sense of her technological one of the present. Yeesh, talk about an identity crisis. The Alien franchise has regularly pondered whether humanity deserves to survive. The series asks the same question, whether it's in the face of the alien invaders or the corporatations bending the understanding of what it even means to be human. Transhumanism, mortality, corporate control and the perils of unchecked technological advancements are some of the heady themes explored here. As big as some of these creative swings get, you shouldn't worry: aliens are still killing people. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Stylistically, Alien: Earth regularly references the first two Alien movies. That said, there is ample room to create something new and explore uncharted ground in the process. And the show does just that. The result is a program that is grand in scope, and while familiar visuals and aesthetics are featured throughout, Alien: Earth is delightfully different. This brings me to the Xenomorph. I'm not sure how practical the effects are in reference to the iconic creature (it's clear in some scenes that there's a person inside of a costume), but there are shots featured throughout the show that present the monster in a unique perspective, unlike anything I've seen before. And instead of waiting multiple episodes before the big bad is revealed, it's set loose in the pilot episode. Through his TV work with Fargo and Legion, Noah Hawley has established a tone and flavor for his projects, and that offbeat energy can most definitely be found here. His fingerprints are all over this show (he even makes an on-screen cameo), and this is mostly a good thing. That said, if I were to really nitpick, it'd be the slow-burn pacing featured throughout the season that I'd take issue with. Still, that's a minor flaw to me, which is totally made up for with every banging needle drop that closes out each episode. It's probably evident that I am a huge Alien fan. I get the references and smile every time I see a style note or referential homage. That said, the show is surprisingly low on Easter eggs, which is great. It respects and honors what came before it without getting lost in the minutiae. Alien: Earth has equal appeal to newbies who have never seen an Alien movie and die-hard franchise fanatics like myself. I can honestly say this series is unlike anything I've seen in the Alien universe. It's familiar while also being new; it's different without being destructive to the lore. Alien fans have trudged through one disappointing movie after another to get here. Alien: Earth is a win, and I'm ecstatic. You could even say my chest is bursting with joy. It only took four decades to get here. I guess good things really do come to those who wait. Solve the daily Crossword

Video: Four Dogs React to ‘Small Bite' in Wildly Different Ways
Every time you ask your furbaby to do something, chances are they will do the exact opposite and then get into an argument with you about the same as well. Want them to sit down? They will likely run away. Want them to behave? They will most definitely wreak havoc all over the house. This owner recorded a video of his four dogs' reactions when he asked them to take a 'small bite' of the cheese slice. Their responses? Wildly different and absolutely hilarious, so much so that you will surely be left in stitches. Owner shares four dogs' different reactions to 'small bite' in hilarious video You can always expect absolute chaos from your four-legged companion when a command involves food, especially if it is something they love to munch on. This owner documented his four dogs' drastically different reactions after asking them to take 'small bites' of some cheese slices in a video. It demonstrated the high-energy, rebellious nature of his Golden Retrievers, comparing it to the calm and composed, order-following behavior of his Huskies. The clip first showed the dog dad, Corey Moriarty, explaining to the first pup, Maverick the Golden, to take a small bite of the cheese slice. However, Mav inhaled the whole thing in just a few sniffs and didn't even seem guilty about it. Next in line was a very obedient Titan, who took the smallest bite possible to prove that he was the good boy everybody thought he was. Blue's reaction was quite similar, but upon further request, his dad had to give him the remaining cheese slice as a special treat. Lastly, the video showed the youngest of the four dogs, a Golden Retriever puppy, excitedly reacting to the 'small bite' command. Bauer greeted his dad and the slice of cheese with a big jump before gobbling down the treat all at once. He then went straight to the source, aiming for the pack of cheese slices lying on the counter. Bauer hurriedly ate as much as he could before his dad pulled him away and put him in 'air jail' as an adorable punishment that he willingly accepted.
