Its “rockable” bottle is made up of about 35 whiskies most from the Speyside along with smaller quantities of both Highland and Islay malts for weight and character.

Tasting Notes

"Rich in barley malt this is easily a whisky with which to read the New York Times. It is easy on the palate, begins sweet like cane sugar, and is heightened by a quick alcohol burn. It leaves a soft, peated palate just silky enough to want to pick the glass back up. If you are adventurous , it is a blend to try but if you are just having a whisky you might as well order the JW Red, Black, or Dewar's 12. "
