"Medium golden color with a touch of orange. Delicate aromas of mild creamy vanilla, roasted nuts, and chocolate. A very smooth and even entry leads to a dryish medium-bodied palate with sweet toffee, oaky spice, star anise, and oloroso Sherry notes. Finishes with a tasty fade of sweet chocolate and nuts. Very even, balanced, and delicious."

"The initial whiffs find layers of honey, flowers and light toffee; air contact stimulates aromas of pine needle, caramel, nougat, marzipan, chocolate orange and stewed apple. The palate entry is totally dry then turns bittersweet and pork rind-like; at midpalate tastes of burnt apple crisp, orange zest, fudge and candied nuts appear. Finishes as grandly and stately as it began." 90-95 pts.

"Golden amber color. Bold aromas of peat, iodine, baklava, and creme caramel follow through on a rich, satiny entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium-full body with layer of buttercream, dried fruits, pine cone ash, oat cereal, and sweet spice. Finishes with a long interplay of cream, spice, and iodine laced part. Impressive, different and fun."

"...complex aromas of malted barley and oak..."

"Medium golden color. Sweet caramel, banana nut bread, and spice aromas. A round entry leads to a smooth, fruity sweet medium-to full-bodied palate with toffee, layer cake, peppery spice, and a touch of straw-like tannin. Finishes with a nice heather, pepper, and caramel fade."

"A light, young version of Bowmore at a competitive price."

The long-awaited US bow of this pretty, lightly peated malt that is the heart of the Dewars blends.
