Dewar's 21-year-old Double Double / 46%
For 2019, Bacardi's master blender, Stephanie MacLeod, has developed a new Dewar's offering featuring whiskies that have undergone a 4-stage maturation. Its highlight is the 21 Years Old Double presented here. The first phase involves aging the individual malt and grain components in traditional oak casks; in the second, the separately blended malt and grain whiskies go into new casks; in the next phase, once all the components are blended, they go (as a finished blend) into another set of casks; finally, the finish is done in Oloroso sherry casks.
Aroma
mild, delicate notes of sherry, honeyed cereal, vanilla, peaches, apples, pineapple, orange peel, a trace of grilled pork neck and a fleeting hint of smoke.
TASTE
fruity, pears, apples, ripe grapes, Meyer lemons, vanilla, milk chocolate, honey, cappuccino, a pinch of black pepper, cinnamon, notes of sherry and oak.
FINISH
quite long, with notes of honey, toffee, roasted nuts, baked apples, cinnamon, a touch of sherry and oak tannins.
