I have always avoided scotch aged in sherry casks, until now. The hype brought me to order a bottle (half bottle) for $70 Canadian. This is a quality dram from the first taste. The aging process used by Dewars exquisitely blends the ingredients to perfection. It doesn't have the sickenly sweet taste of the majority of sherry aged whiskey's I have tried. This is a true masterpiece, especially for the price. This is far better than any blended scotch I have ever enjoyed. For me, it's too expensive for daily consumption. But I will keep this for special occasions with special friends.
