This is a smooth, easy-drinking blend. I actually tried this before trying Aberfeldy as a single malt, and I see how Aberfeldy is at the heart of these Dewar's blends. It has a well rounded character with some oakiness, but overall its predominant features are a nice malty sweetness that verges on fruitiness at times. I'm not sure if this remains widely available, I got it when my store was clearing it out at under $30 a bottle, and at that price it was an excellent value.
