Dewar's 25 year old The Signature, 40%

Price: 325 Issue: Fall 2023 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Scotch Whisky

This is a chocolate box of delights. Kept aloft by aromas of honey, vanilla, and candied orange, with barley and flora scents, it adds tangy dried apricots, mango, hazelnut, and gentle spices. Creamy chocolate on the palate, with leather, peppercorn, clove, and licorice, then flavors of creamy caramel, nuts, and cortado lighten the mood before a long, deep finish of chocolate, coffee, and exotic spices.
