  • A light hint of tobacco and licorice on the finish add some level of seriousness. Whether it has the smoothness of the Portuguese… that’s a question for you, the reader, to answer.

  • Overall, I hoped that the port would really elevate what Dewar's base blend is accomplished at doing but this release is thin and the Port only really shines on the palate.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Sweet honey, light oak and cream, caramel and a hint of pepper. Faint youth here, it's light, fruity and creamy. The port notes aren't particularly vibrant or expressive on the notes - unexpected.

  • Taste:

    Sweet on the palate. Very faint smoke note, with some lumber, toffee and apricot. The Port wine influence is much more apparent here, lending a jammy, fruity quality in the form of marmalade, currant and cherry to the lightly smoky base spirit.

  • Finish:

    Short finish. Not particularly complex. A bit of heat, unexpected for 40% ABV, some jammy cherry, light smoke and minerality and a hint of sweet malt.

  • Overall:

    Overall, I hoped that the port would really elevate what Dewar's base blend is accomplished at doing but this release is thin and the Port only really shines on the palate.
