Tasting Notes
Dewar's 8 Year Old French Smooth is a delightful blend of Scottish whisky and French flair. This unique expression spent time finishing in Calvados casks, lending it a delightful apple-y charm. On the nose, buttery pastry notes mingle with hints of apple turnovers, raisins, vanilla, and a touch of nutty oak. The palate strikes a lovely balance between sweet fruit and warming spice, with baked green apples and casked cider complemented by generous lashings of cinnamon and nutmeg. The finish brings a zesty citrus kick, along with roasted nuts, a whisper of toasty smoke, and a lingering sweetness reminiscent of maple and vanilla. A truly distinctive dram that would make for a fabulous Highball, perhaps paired with crisp apple soda for a refreshing twist.
