Dewar's 19 Year The Champions Edition (2021)

According to the Dewar’s website: “Created in partnership with the USGA to commemorate the 121st US Open at Torrey Pines. Dubbed “The Champions Edition”, this bottle honors the US Open Mantra: “From Many, One”. From many barrels, one champion blend emerges. With a minimum age of 19 years and finished in ex-American Bourbon casks…rich notes of vanilla, honey, toffee and ripe cherries.” Dewar’s notes are pretty spot on. Definitely get rich honey, vanilla, toffee and cherry. Add some barrel spices, black tea and ginger notes to make this a delicious whiskey.

Was at Costco and found a few bottles of this on the shelf, nothing else there peaked my interest so went into this with a why not? That said, absolutely a wonderful product, couldn't have been more taken back by the quality of this 19yr, very smooth with a low ethanol hit that had excellent mid to upper mid tasting notes of carmel/ toffee and vanilla just as described on the box , I felt more of a dried fruit in taste as well as the nose, at $49.95 I have to go back and get more, that's a steal at that price in todays market, for what this offered.

It’s rich, but still another typical blend.
