The upcoming Tony Awards will be getting a speakeasy experience thanks to the combine efforts of both Dewar’s and Baccarat. The world’s most awarded blended Scotch whisky and the legendary French crystal Maison will combine over 300 years of shared heritage, craftsmanship, and storytelling for this unique ‘pop-up’.
Designed as a tribute to the creative visionaries of Broadway, the speakeasy will offer a refined, multisensory celebration for Tony nominees, presenters, and guests at the 78th Annual Tony Awards taking place on Sunday, 8 June at Radio City Music Hall, New York.
The experience will feature meticulously crafted cocktails from Dewar’s ultra-premium Double Double range, served in Baccarat’s iconic crystal glassware. Inspired by the Art Deco elegance of Radio City, the space blends modern luxury with classic design motifs—architectural curves, zigzags, and Baccarat’s signature rouge and gold palette.
Ambient lighting from crystal chandeliers and sculptural pieces sets the stage for an evening of sophistication and celebration. “We’ve always believed great stories should be savoured. The Tony Awards epitomise the art of live storytelling,” said Brian Cox, Global Vice President of Scotch Whisky at Bacardi.
Cocktails will highlight the unique smoothness of the Double Double range, known for its four-stage ageing process. The cocktail menu will include signature serves such as the Golden Cue, a bright, fruit-forward elixir served in a Baccarat Mille Nuits Glass, The Revival, an indulgent serve complemented by vanilla and sherry presented in a Baccarat Talleyrand “Encore” Coupe, and Act One Aperitif, a layered cocktail with notes of banana strained into an absinthe-rinsed Baccarat Harmonie Tumbler.
Each cocktail will be crafted to stimulate the senses and toast a different facet of theatrical brilliance.
Rooted in Dewar’s global brand platform ‘Here’s to the Story’, the partnership with Baccarat and the Tony Awards is a toast to timeless artistry, cultural influence, and enduring craftsmanship—both on stage and in the glass.
