Distiller Notes
Heather honey poured over fruit. Rich, golden, and mellow. Almond and vanilla cream, with smooth butterscotch. Soft, flavorful, and sweet. A full finish; rich, deep, and oaky. Plush, reassuring, and lasting.

Give this soft, smooth whisky a little time to open up. At first, it reads as fruity, oaky and a little floral, but after a while deeper caramel and almond aromas open up. Dried fruit, vanilla, and caramel flavors segue into a lingering smoky finish, which accelerates with repeated sips.

Available for several years, but now finally making its debut in the U.S. The higher-end Dewar’s expressions (Dewar’s 12 year old and Dewar’s Signature) are very good blends. This one is situated smartly between the two. The malt proportion is rich and creamy; the grain whisky is crisp and well-integrated. Antique gold color, with notes of butterscotch, vanilla wafer, strawberry rhubarb pie, and citrus drizzled with honey. Lovely floral notes in the aroma, along with a pleasing, dried spice finish. I could drink this stuff all day long!
Originally created as a lighter alternative to Single Malts to appeal to the Americans during Prohibition, Blended Scotch Whiskies are a mix of both grain and malt whiskies that have been sourced from multiple distilleries and aged a minimum of three years in oak barrels. Nine out of every ten bottles of Scotch sold is a Blended Scotch Whisky and they are generally far more affordable than Single Malt Scotch Whiskies.
