Dewars The Signature 25 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky (750ml)
A crazy direct-import price on a 750ml blended classic. Elsewhere pay $400+
This is the oldest and rarest Whisky within Dewar's permanent range, matured for a minimum of 25 years, then double aged or 'finished' in casks that previously held Royal Brackla single malt whisky. Unanimous praise from all quarters combined with a significant age statement, slick presentation and a remarkable direct import price add up to an unmissable buying opportunity.
Other reviews... high grade marzipan carresses and teases the nose, while the grains exude a softness which on excavation reveals a firmer side; a lovely candy floss sweetness completes the extraordinary aroma.... a 25 year old blend truly worthy of that mantle. Always an honor to experience a whisky that has been very cleverly scuplted, not haphazardly slung together; a blender's blend. I doff my panama to the blender. 96 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2021
...Aged for a quarter century and finished in Royal Brackla casks? Count me in. The nose is highly attractive; a rich maltiness unfolds with vanilla oak, flapjacks, whole almonds, and gentle background spices. Smooth caramels, chocolate orange, and a cappuccino note create a thick, weighty blend that melts gracefully into pools of darker chocolate. The mouth-coating finish has plain chocolate, dry oak, and coffee. Brilliant liquid: smoothness personified. 93 points - whiskyadvocate.com, reviewed by: Jonny McCormick (Spring 2018)
