Nose
Sherry sweetness, honey, dried fruit. The sherry cask finishing adds a richness absent from the younger expressions — dried cherry, a touch of dark chocolate, a gentle nuttiness. Beneath it, the familiar Aberfeldy honey.
Palate
Smooth and sherried — toffee, dried fruit, a gentle oak spice. The fifteen years and sherry finishing have added genuine complexity to the Dewar's house style. Mid-palate brings malt, a touch of cinnamon and a rounded warmth. Noticeably more interesting than the 12 Year Old.
Finish
Medium-long, with sherry warmth and honeyed malt fading into a gentle oak sweetness.
Expert Review
7.8/10Fifteen years and a sherry cask finish elevate Dewar's into genuinely interesting territory.
