East End Taste experiences the 126th U.S. Open Championship from the exclusive Dewar's 1846 Suite, exploring the heritage of one of the world's most celebrated Scotch whisky brands while enjoying championship golf, luxury hospitality, and unforgettable moments.
As one of golf's four major championships, the U.S. Open represents the pinnacle of competition, bringing together the world's greatest players, iconic brands, and passionate fans for a week where history is made one shot at a time.
This year, East End Taste had the privilege of experiencing the final rounds of the championship from the exclusive Dewar's 1846 Suite, where luxury hospitality, premium Scotch whisky, and championship golf came together to create an unforgettable experience.
Ridgewells Catering was the exclusive culinary partner for the luxury suites inside "The Village", player areas, and corporate hospitality tents at the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club.
Dewar's 1846 Suite featured their signature Lemon Wedge cocktail.
The Prestige of the U.S. Open Championship
Founded in 1895, the U.S. Open is organized annually by the United States Golf Association (USGA) and is widely considered one of the most demanding tournaments in professional golf.
The championship has crowned some of the sport's greatest legends, including Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Tiger Woods, and many others whose names have become synonymous with excellence.
Winning the U.S. Open requires more than talent. It demands resilience, discipline, precision, and mental toughness—qualities that resonate far beyond the golf course.
Every year, millions of fans worldwide tune in to watch the drama unfold as the world's best players compete for one of the most coveted trophies in sport.
Experiencing the final rounds in person is extraordinary. But experiencing them through one of the event's premier hospitality experiences elevates the championship to an entirely different level.
The Story Behind Dewar's: Nearly 180 Years of Heritage
The story of Dewar's began in 1846 when John Dewar founded his whisky business in Perth, Scotland.
What started as a small family operation would eventually become one of the most recognized and awarded Scotch whisky brands in the world.
At a time when whisky was commonly sold directly from barrels, Dewar's helped pioneer the concept of branded Scotch whisky, creating consistency and trust for consumers seeking quality and authenticity.
Over the decades, Dewar's expanded globally while remaining committed to the principles that built its reputation: craftsmanship, innovation, and attention to detail.
Today, Dewar's is enjoyed in more than 180 countries and has received hundreds of international awards.
One of the brand's most celebrated innovations is its signature double-aging process, which allows the whisky to mature a second time after blending, creating exceptional smoothness and complexity.
Its portfolio includes:
Dewar's White Label
Dewar's 12 Year Old
Dewar's 15 Year Old
Dewar's 18 Year Old
Dewar's Double Double Series
Rare and limited-edition expressions
These offerings have helped establish Dewar's as one of the most respected names in premium Scotch whisky worldwide.
