Dewar's 30 Years Ultra Scotch | Blended Scotch Whisky

NOSE:
The Nose is incredible. The air around the glass is filled with the scent of raw walnuts and thick toffee pudding. The Pedro Ximenez influence is easily recognizable in just the Nose alone. It’s dusty, like an attic, and fairly smoky in the Nose for a non-Islay variety. There’s dark chocolate candy bar as well as cocoa powder, dried figs and it’s like sticking your face into a bag of dried prunes, just sticky all over. A kola smell comes forward and near the end of my nosing a faint lemon smell, as if someone spritzed a lemon over a cocktail. This Nose is layered and rich.

TASTE: First sip is creamy, mouth coating and very savory. Almost a bready savory. Second sip, everything continues to remain enjoyable. There’s a wonderful savory spice that undulates with spicy, then savory, then dried sweet flavors. Again and again layers of bran muffin, including the raisins, hearty grains covered in a sweetener that isn’t too sweet. A very savory sweet. Rich malt, black strap molasses. Going in for another sip maple syrup covered French toast, with too much cinnamon (still good though). The dustiness from the Nose carries over to the Taste a little, you can definitely Taste the age, not a bad thing, just apparent.

FINISH:
The Finish is mouth watering, no dryness whatsoever. The bready, wheat filled flavor lingers, like you just bit into a piece of wholegrain bread. A very faint soft smoke lingers in the background. The spices are subdued in the Finish but very rich and not watered down. This whisky just drinks so easily.
