Crisp orchard fruit, nuts, and honey notes with hints of cereal and light spice. Well-integrated oak.
Subtle, with hints of dried fruit and underlying earthy notes combining on the textured palate.
Lots of barley and cereal character with malt biscuit notes. Rich, bold fruit comes through on the palate with sweet notes of ripe vanilla-spiked pears and juicy orange, before finishing dry with oaky notes on the finish.
Sweet and pleasant with flavours of soft fruits, gentle spice and flirtatious tobacco. Dry and oaky on the finish with a congenial parting wave of fragrant red apple. Very appealing.
Complex and interesting, with toffee apple and banana aromas leading to a rich palate of vanilla ice cream, a kiss of maple syrup and a dry, smoky finish.
The first impression on the nose has some appetising savoury notes. … The palate is rich and fairly dry with bitter dark chocolate and cocoa powder notes. A well constructed and balanced whisky with a lengthy finish.
Entered as Dewar's 15 YO The Monarch
A Perthshire bazaar in the 1800s with exotic spices, blankets, dried fruits and oak furniture on the nose. The palate gives more of the same with additional elements of spices, wools and well made yellow fruit tarts.
