The Rusty Nail

Rich & weighty, w/ a pleasant sherry influence. Deep & wonderfully complex. Good smokiness & some pepper in there, too. Toffee & croissants. Toasty & creamy w/ heavily honeyed sherried tones. Apple pie, ice cream, caramel, toffee, blueberries, vanilla or milk & honey-scented hand soap. Smoke & sherry intermingle in the finish that grows a bit stale & watery.

Very aromatic. Sexily earthy. Peaty, junipery, fruity. Robust malt & grain palate. Very lively. Scenty spiciness. Gingery. Comes on hot & strong w/ a finish of island smokiness & saltiness emerging: lingering & insistent.

Lightly caramel & winey, cream crackers, soft brine. Fuller, creamy textures, w/ a long, chocolatey, gently smoky, salty, prickling finale.

A huge mouthfeel, as is typical of the caol ila line of malts. A long, lingering finish.

Rich flowery speyside warmth opens up in time, & a whiff of smoke hovers above honey & bourbon-y vanilla. The various dimensions become more apparent w/ time spent in the glass, but in such soft delicate balance that it feels rude to pick it apart.

There is no actual, written or documented recipe for dewar's white label. The secret of blending is passed down from one master blender to another. There have been just five dewar's master blenders during the 150-year company history.

Honeyed maltiness, unbuttered popcorn, light & sweet but w/ a weighty, oaky core. Luscious mouthfeel. Grassy, grainy, breakfast cereals. A bit of the spice & sour fruit of sherry cask influence. Granny smith apples & cheddar, red licorice, oak & vanilla. Chewy malt finish w/ more oak.

Rich sweetness & fruits - oranges, lemons & pears, w/ sea-salt & peaty smokiness & a full, rich body. Mouth-filling late autumn fruits - dried figs & honey-sweet spices; followed by a smoky malty dryness & a long, smooth-sweet finish w/ oak-wood, dryness & a grain of salt.

Light & perfumed. Quite complex in spite the light impressions. Incredibly appetizing. Heartier in the mouth, full oak flavours & some gentle spice. This balance of oak & spice sits comfortably for minutes, gently drying late in the game.

Soft & pleasant nose, vanilla, cut grass, sweet & malty. A touch waxy, w/ lots of fruit, nuts, & tons of oak character. Floral elements juxtaposed w/ sweet cocoa bean & a nuttiness that's all wrapped up in a soft woody, earthy smoke.

A complex of sweet floral fragrances w/ some honey & vanilla. A firm, rounded, light to medium body w/ a strong malty taste w/ hints of sweet wood smoke & sandalwood. A long malt-driven finish w/ light smoke & hints of sweetness.

Mellow,​ sherry-dominant nose. Tobacco leaf, orange pekoe tea, walnut, caramelised fruit. Mint, leather, toffee & butter. In time it gets even sweeter. Sweet & silky palate w/ well integrated sherry wood overlaying the creamy/minty character. Ripe & soft w/ a light chocolate & some dried fruit finish.
