Dimple Pinch 15 Year

Caramel, light sweet and light smoke, has a little kick

Smooth, nice

This deserves to be in everyone’s cupboard. My grandparents loved Dimple & after enjoying a bottle of the 12yo given to me as a gift, I bought a bottle of the 15yo. It’s quite the step up. Very easy to drink & uncomplicated, but still maintains fruity citrus notes on the nose, a little spice on the tongue and a lingering creamy finish. For a midweek sip or a casual couple of glasses with company this will tick all the boxes. It’s good enough on it’s own, but not so expensive that you wouldn’t enjoy it in a cocktail or with a mixer.

Tastes like Johnnie Walker Black Label

Super smooth 15 yo blend. There are notes of malt, pie crust, honey, a small bit of smoke, and a bit of vanilla. I am sure this is designed to be a "middle of the road" blend; and, it succeeds very well at that. If you are a single malt drinker with strong preferences in your taste profile, this probably is not for you. However, it is smooth, well-balanced, and very tasty in the middle path of Scotch. This tends to run around $40-45 in my area. Honestly there are 10-12 yo single malts in that price range I prefer. However, I was able to get my current bottles from Florida (I live in MO) and with shipping it was $30 per bottle. At that price this is indeed a very pleasant dram. By the way, I have drunk Pinch off and on since my college days in the early 70's.
