Dewar's 8 year old French Smooth, 40%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2022 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Blended Scotch Whisky
Dewar's chose calvados cask finishing for this fifth release in the series, kindling a first impression of apple peels and pithy orange, followed by aromas of green apple, marshmallow, Turkish delight, meringue, vanilla, barley, and spring florals. Plenty of bite, with green apple, peppery spice, and cinnamon, before sliding into creamy notes of Stroopwafel, ground almond, malt, cigarillos, and chocolate ice cream, with abundant spices to finish.
