Celebrate Thanksgiving with a Boozy Twist

The Pie Commission has teamed up with Dewar Whisky for the ultimate pumpkin pie! Dewar's Spiked Pumpkin Pie was created by The Pie Commission founder Patrick Blessing. 

"The double aged Dewar's 12 is the perfect pairing for your holiday feast," explained Blessing. "So much so, we had to add the world's most awarded blended scotch whisky into our pies this Thanksgiving." 

The vanilla and honey tones of Dewar's 12 perfectly compliments any pumpkin pie recipe. Just simply reduce the whiskey down to half, and then blend in with your family's pumpkin pie mixture. 

Making everything with natural ingredients is something that The Pie Commission takes seriously. 

"We make everything from scratch," said Blessing. "We cook and bake using simple traditional methods to try and replicate the pies that we grew up eating at home." 

Starting today The Pie Commission will be selling Dewar's Spiked Pumpkin Pie (recipe below), and the Dewar's Spiked Scotch Egg Pie, two perfect additions to your Thanksgiving dinner!
