Review: Dewar’s The Champions Edition 19 Years Old

Products You May Like

Dewar’s newest bottling is a 19 12 months previous mix aged in American bourbon casks — which is becoming, because it’s bottled in honor of the 121st version of the U.S. Open. I’m unsure that is an efficient substitute for being at Torrey Pines, as Dewar’s suggests, but when your TV is massive sufficient, possibly it’s.

Let’s attempt to not dwell on a Scotch producer celebrating an American golf event and get straight to the tasting.

Seems that is an iconic and pleasant expression of bourbon barrel-aged blended Scotch, its 19 years clearly evident on its well-developed shoulders. The nostril is wealthy and malty, with extra caramel than anticipated, giving it a depth and silky sweetness that’s typically missing in blended whiskies. The palate is daring with salted caramel — there’s loads of saline on this one — that results in a well-developed layer cake of chocolate, vanilla, and nougat, baking spice, and a few cinnamon-layered applesauce notes. It’s not a very fruity whisky, however that’s wonderful. Should you’re the sort that wishes the apple pie for dessert, look elsewhere. This expression feels constructed for the creme brulee fan and the chocolate ganache lover. All that’s lacking is the mint in your pillow.

80 proof.
