Too alcoholic to enjoy any of the (very few) complexities. Straight or with Club Soda, it's not even as good as the (bottom of the shelf) Inver House Green Plaid, that cost half as much. For some reason, however, Dewar's White Label is better in mixed drinks than the Inver House. "Experts" say this is better than Johnnie Walker Red but I disagree... of course, I've said before I'm not a Blended Scotch guy and the fact that I love Islay Single-Malts may be why I prefer JW Red over Dewar's White Label, Red is way peatier.
