Remarks:
with the first pour you can feel the cask finish once you swallow the malt. But that’s already gone with the second pour.
What stays is the typical blend flavors you also have in the normal 12yo Dewar’s Blend.
I think with a higher ABV it would be much more enjoyable.
But as a drink during a nice dinner or a great cigar it does its purpose.

Overall I rate this Whisky 82/100 points

  • Nose: 82/100 points

  • Taste: 82/100 points

  • Finish: 82/100 points
