Well, look who's back? This little gem is starting to become a perennial favourite, and for good reason: it's absolutely killer whisky at an inexplicably low price point! According to the folks at Dewar's, this has "been aged, blended together, aged again, then finished in sherry casks."
There is no overstating how cool it is that they have given us a blend with a high age statement and a robust bottling strength. Way to step into the spotlight, Dewar's. Well done.

Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: old, antique-y, soft worn leather, moist Christmas cake and treacle sauce; Dominican cigar tobacco, Demerara sugar and bags of tropical fruit: overripe bananas, mango, papaya; loads going on.
Palate: matches almost perfectly with the nose; still old and antique-y, this is old school whisky; damp Dominican cigar tobacco, moist Christmas cake, dark chocolate and treacle sauce on sticky toffee pudding; the tropical fruits are still there, and still very ripe; maple syrup, Demerara sugar and PX sherry all floating on top.
Finish: warm, spicy and decadent with rich sherry, loads of fruit and lots of layers; late tropical fruits as the rest settles down.
Comment: simply wow; when we first tried this I immediately asked the rep, how much can you get me? sadly, only 3 dozen... it has shades of some of the best old Blends I've ever had, like Compass Box's The General; a stunning whisky, at an amazing price; a must have!

This Double Double has nothing to do with Tims... but the whisky was ranked #2 in Whisky Advocate's Top 20 Whiskies of 2019, scoring 94pts. Bottled at 46%, 375ml bottle!
94pts Whisky Advocate
"Master blender Stephanie Macleod’s innovative blend was inspired by Dewar’s famous double aging process. She separately blended parcels of aged malt and grain whisky, left each to marry, then blended them together to marry again, before finishing in oloroso sherry casks. A tantalizing nose of chocolate, caramel, vanilla, crystalized orange slice, fresh plum, black cherry, and moist coffee grounds. Smooth flavors of chocolate-dipped raspberries, gingersnaps, and bold sherry fruit yield to a finish of smoke and spice. By releasing in novel half-bottles, Dewar’s spreads the love, enabling us to experience a 21 year old scotch for just 50 bucks. —Jonny McCormick"

The middle child in the Dewar's Double Aged collection, this 27-year-old is maybe the sleeper in the range: its older sibling gets a lot of attention for the higher age statement, and it's younger sibling garners love for price point. The 27-year-old is where you should really be looking for quality/price ratio. This whisky is a banger!
Dewar's has told us that this has "been aged, blended together, aged again, then finished in sherry casks." This time, however, those finishing vessels were ex-Palo Cortado!
