  • Dewar's 18 Year The Vintage

    Blended — Scotland

    The alcohol and turpentine mostly overpower the delicate honey and floral notes on the nose, smooth, rich, oily malt on the palate, the finish is a bit rough with turpentine and astringent notes. I hope this improves over time.

    Orange rinds, apples, brown sugar and grain alcohol on the nose, grainy, semi sweet palate, a little harsh on the short finish. A splash of water helps this immensely, the palate gets smooth, creamy toffee and the finish takes on a pleasant honey tone.

    The nose started super sweet then, over about 15 minutes, transitioned through stewed prunes, sugar cookies, burnt toffee and vanilla, the palate is smooth and creamy with light butterscotch and vanilla, there’s a little smoky wood on the medium finish
