Tasting Notes
"An intriguing application from Dewar's, although it doesn't ultimately expand beyond the basic sum of its parts. A cheerful fruitiness opens on the nose with apricot leading the way. Malty and nutty aromas give way to some agave notes from the barrel finish. The spirit drinks with a nice plushness, offering pound cake and citrus flavors. In the finish, the agave returns with a spicy, bitter accent. "
