Dewar's 19 year old The Champions Edition (2025 Release), 43%

Finished in first-fill calvados casks, like Dewar’s 8 year old French Smooth, but this is quite different. The nose has green apple, roasted spices, clove, cracked black pepper, and roasted potato skins. The creamy palate presents sautéed apple, malt, and cocoa powder, leading to clove-led spiciness, cassia bark, Brazil nut, poached pear, and coffee bean. Its complex flavors will spark the imagination of bartenders.
