Thanks to Ryan, as part of our little Scottish Distillery sample trading team, I got to try this core component that makes up Dewar's. I'm not sure if I ever had Dewar's. Maybe I had. Maybe not. Wasn't memorable either way. Which is surprising, because this was pretty good. Sweet honey and toffee, white chocolate. Really well balanced. I think if you're a seasoned Scotch drinker, this might be too simplistic and one dimensional for you, but this is perfect for the newbie, or a beer drinker curious about Scotch. It's inoffensive, mild, and well balanced without any rough "kick me in the face" peaty flavors. Would I buy a bottle? Probably not. But, I wouldn't refuse a sample either. Thanks Ryan for this! ( Scott...your samples are next in our round 2...finally finished Paul's, Lee's, and Ryan's)
