William Lawson's Blended Scotch Whiskey /40%/ 1.5l

William Lawson was a Scottish whisky broker who started his own business while still working for Edward & John Bourke Blending Co.

At the beginning of the 20th century, W. Lawson & Company went bankrupt, but in 1972 it was re-registered, this time as a subsidiary of Martini & Rossi. The assets of the latter, together with William Lawson Distillers, were taken over by Bacardi Ltd. in 1993 and within two decades made Lawson's whisky a global brand. In the years 2010-2014, its sales doubled, currently (2021) it amounts to 42 million bottles, which places it in seventh place among the most popular Scotch whiskies. The blend formula is built on the basis of the single malt Macduff and to a lesser extent Aultmore and Royal Brackla.

Aroma: sweet with a delicate hint of spice, barley malt, green apples, vanilla, honey, roasted nuts, a bit of pepper and oak shavings.

Palate: sweet cereals, vanilla, toffee, dried apples and dates, raisins, mixed nuts, allspice and a bit of oak.

Finish: medium long, with notes of cereal, vanilla, dried fruit, white pepper and oak.
