Whisky Review: Dewar’s French Cask Smooth Scotch Whisky, aged 8 years — a Scotch expression worthy of considered evaluation.

Nose

Slightly dry with buttery notes of baked apple, pine nuts, baking spices, golden raisins, and bright citrus notes.

Palate

The palate offers a low mouth burn with a strong medicinal taste thats both spicy and cool with buttery hints of clove.

Finish

This is a creamy and smooth whisky that has a pleasant balance of flavors with a medium-long finish accompanied by a very pronounced medicinal character. It offers light-bodied notes of nutty, fruity sweetness, making it a prime ingredient for use in hand-crafted cocktails.
