Well this is a step back from the prior version. The nice fruity flavor saturation is gone. This has some malt and oak and traditional scotch notes but the grain presence shouts loudly and drops this out of rebuy status. This is less money but JW Black or Chivas 12 easily best this. It isn't bad by any means but not worth the time imo.......76/100.........put the 25 bucks toward something better

@Ctrexman I agree with you on your assetment of the new verion of Dewers 12 year old scotch blend..
@cascode I dont think JWB is amazing just a solid dependable blend with a nice touch of smoke and honey. I was just at a conference in New Orleans and ordered it because its affordable and most important available. They also had Glenlivit 12 but after going back to back at open bar I would rather have the Black
@Ctrexman Good summary but gee, is contemporary JW Black that good? The last I had was pretty lifeless.
