Dewar's Double Double 21 Year

An award winning blend is always suspicious, specially when that category holds some great contestants as the almighty Hibiki 21 or a super high-end Compass Box. Don't get me wrong, i love blended whiskies, but i am a little skeptical of naming them "Best whisky in the world" specially when you are dealing with super brands that are made mostly to please a broad base of consumers rather than true whisky analysts (if such thing even exists). Well, actually i like Dewars a lot. It is a good, affordable blend. And this 21yo expression, has become very famous due to the awards it has won lately. It says in the label that it has been matured in four casks, mostly Oloroso Sherry ones. Bottled at 46%abv it has a very lovely red color. On the nose, quite nice. Bbq sauce, thick maple syrup, glazed ham and peach halves in their syrup. Honey. It screams Craigellachie everywhere. Not too complex. On the palate, it is super smooth, and i don't use "smooth" ever as a whisky term. Velvety soft and incredibly gentle. Vanilla, red fruit syrup, frutilla, maraschino cherries and fruitspice. Aftertaste is elegant. Hay and ginger. Very woody and dry; more sips gave me this feeling of coffee and milk, toffee and almond milk. Overall, this is a very good dram, but way too gentle and safe for my subjective preferences in whisky. Not very complex but incredibly easy to the palate, it achieves what it intends to do, which is a notorious elegance for whisky drinkers who appreciate a well crafted spirit without any crazy flavors or boldness. My score for this fairly enjoyable "juice" is 84 over 100.
