Dewar's 19 year old The Champion's Edition (2024), 43%

Price: 80 Issue: Fall 2024 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Scotch Whisky

Finished in rye casks for the 124th U.S. Open, the nose presents honey, green and toasted rye, rye crackers, and a subtle pepperiness. A fine blend with flavors of caramel, poached pear, and rich vanilla, plus wood spice, cinnamon, and heather honey. Golden raisin and other dried fruits, with rye spice, vanilla, and a hint of cocoa on the finish.
