Dewar's 15 Year Old The Monarch Blended Scotch Whisky (750ml)

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product not pictured.

Named for the painting "The Monarch of the Glen" by Sir Edwin Landseer, Dewar's placed the 15 year old alongside The Ancestor 12 year old and The Vintage 18 year old in their Premium Collection. The names don't seem to have lasted, maybe they fired their marketer...

Other reviews... These blends have also strange names. The 12 was ‘the Ancestor’ (an old Dewar moniker), while this 15 is ‘the Monarch’. More retro than that, you die. When our descendents will find these bottles in our old cupboards, they’ll think they were bottled around 1930. Colour: pale gold. Nose: perhaps not very different, just rounder, with more vanilla and biscuits. A little more floral as well, also with apple peel, which is nice. Noses like a good IPA. Hoppy whisky, that’s funny. Mouth: same league as the 12, same profile, same brightness, same maltiness. And almost the same whisky, just a tad fatter and oilier. Very good. Finish: rather long this time, feeling like 43-44% vol.,  which is always a great sign. The malts have taken command. Touches of herbal liqueurs, caraway, wormwood… Comments: real great work. It is blended Scotch for malt drinkers, I’d say.
