Dewar's Double Double 21 Year

Good tasting Blend!

$50 for a half bottle- sign me up. I wish they all had 1/2 bottles available - anyway: this stuff is good. If you like old scotch you will like this. The finish is classic dewars smoke - but the mouth feel and complexity are excellent. Do I know it’s a blend? Yeea. Do I know it contains grain and whatnot? Yeea. Do I like it? Fuk yeea. Buy and you won’t be disappointed...... on a side note - for the cost of the damn super nice sexy packaging they could have probably offered a full bottle at this price. 🥃🤘🏼🥴

Is it a scam to put a 375 ml bottle in a box twice the size of most 750's? I'm not sure but I felt cheated when I got this home to realize it was a 375. Then again...for 50 bucks, maybe it's on me. Nose - butter scotch, chocolate, and vanilla. Taste - This one really evolves in your mouth. The buttery chocolate and vanilla rises up as the alcohol coats the mouth and there is a rush of oak and vanilla spice. There's a fruity character that starts to come out for me once I acclimate to the dessert notes. A bit of dark fruit...raisins or plums, some classic sherry notes but well back in there. Finish - long and lingering. Mostly butter scotch, oak, and some of that sherry element. I'm torn, I want to be mad about the small bottle, but I can't be upset at all with the insanely high quality whisky in here. I'm still only going with a 2.5 here. There's some off notes in the mix, even a few younger whisky notes in a 21 year, but man for 50 bucks, I know it's a small bottle but it's worth a gamble if you're a fan of blended scotch. I'm still debating the older expressions....I don't rebuy this but I might have to spend the 130 for the 30+ year old just to see. Please note again the 50 bucks was for a 375 which makes this more like a 100 dollar bottle. Not a horrible price for a 21 year old whisky and for the most part you get 21 year old notes on this one.

While my reading suggested that this was a travel retail exclusive, somehow the state of Pennsylvania had it available. The hue is a medium hue and a little oily. The nose has hints of dried red berries, cinnamon and leather. The mouth has a caramel and buttery taste then the cinnamon comes back with a little more intensity. The finish is long but not too intense. The cinnamon starts to give way to black pepper with the faintest hint of smoke. All in all a rather nice dram.
