Dewar's White Label

Oak

I paid $8.99 for 200ml at Total Wine; a fifth would have been $23.49, which is more than it's worth, though of course importation raises the price. This is an adequate whisky, but no more, and the nose and finish are unpleasant, especially the nose. It's old gold in the glass, the stuff is 80 proof, and there's no age statement. Of course knowing the exact mash bill is impossible, since it's a blend of 40 single malt and single grain whiskies. NOSE: Sour, with fruit hiding behind the sourness, metallic, honey, something that made me think of a summer meadow, and salt. This is a really unpleasant thing to have in my nose. The sourness reminds me of corn whisky. TASTE: Orange, honey, flower nectar, Constant Comment Tea, salt, a light fruit - peach? MOUTHFEEL: Creamy but thin. FINISH: Very faint oak, citrus, sour, metallic - medium. This stuff might work well in a mixed drink, but for drinking straight this will be my only bottle ever.

Very light body. Clean but I prefer more body in a scotch. Priced well.

Light apple, pear, cereal, and peat. Little bit of sour musk on the finish.

Honey and peat
