My second United flight pick. Dewar's is like a synthetic down pillow -- nice enough, nothing to write home about, and guaranteed to draw out a snore. I get the Aberfeldy on the nose, which is nice, along with a sherried raisin note, but also a pinch of vinegar and grain alcohol. The palate is thin and inoffensive, almost waiflike, with a sweet and malty character but stripped of more pronounced features -- almost as if Dewars did too good a job at blending and polishing off the corners here. The finish is quick, over in a second or two, and not a trip to Flavortown, as Guy Fieri would say (it may be more like a trip to one of his actual restaurants). We were watching the show on the flight, which is why that random thought popped into my head. No major negatives here but not worth imbibing for anyone who cares about finding distinctive flavors in a whiskey.
