Dewar’s True Scotch White Label

I got this Dewar’s True Scotch “white label” to try not bad for it’s price I usually prefer single malts such as Dalmore 12yrs but this is not too bad at all I was quite surprised!! It’s my sons 5th Birthday today so it’s little celebration!!

The White Label might work better blended in cocktails. You might find it to be too harsh for sipping neat or on the rocks.
It has the dubious distinction of being the most popular Scotch in the USA. Popularity and superb taste are rarely synonymous.

Dewar's also make a 12 year reserve blend that is a little more expensive than the White Label.
The 12 year Reserve is comprised of more mature Scotches so the blend is a little sweeter and rounder.
Since you like sipping single malts, you might try the Dewar's Reserve, especially for celebrating special occasions like your son's birthday.

I do not drink very often. When I do, I want it to be quality, not quantity. I do have Dewar's 12 in my cabinet along with some single malts and blends aged 12 years or more. Unfortunately, my bottle of Johnny Walker Gold Label Centenary Blend 18 Years is empty; it was delicious. Rumor was that it contained a few drops of 100 year old whiskies in every bottle. That particular blend is discontinued, perhaps due to a shortage of 100 year old casks. It has been replaced with Platinum Label 18 year, which I have not tried.

Very nice I don’t drink too often either my whiskey’s are all single Malts and Quality over Quantity I been always that way but this one is alright have tried the one you me mentioned I will give it a try and Jonny Walker I haven’t tried any of them actually and even Jack Daniel’s never had it lol..


Great to know about Jonny Walkers Gold Label Centenary never heard about that, and what they did and used few drops of 100yrs old whiskies in every bottle that’s pretty cool actually!!

I haven't had any alcoholic beverages in about 2½ years (my choice and no particular reason, though the pandemic had something to do with it) but I occasionally enjoy a nice whiskey.  I tend to drink it neat.  I am, in no way, a connoisseur.  If I am flying and an alcoholic beverage is offered, the Scotch is invariably Dewars and, honestly, I don't think it's all that bad.  My inexpensive blended Scotch of choice, though, is either Johnnie Walker Red or The Famous Grouse.

When it comes to a single malt Scotch, the one I tend to go for most often is Laphroaig 10 year old.  Not everyone enjoys an Islay but I do.

Very nice   never tried Laphroaig will give a try someday!

Alan, it's quite different from the Highland or Lowland whiskeys.  I liked it from my first sip but many describe it as drinking medicine.  I might suggest getting one of those mini bottles for a couple of C$ to see if you like it.

It’s actually smooth not bad but I wanted to try it anyways to see how it is!!!


For sure it’s not from Highland or Lowland whiskeys as I preffer the most

Islay Scotch is interesting. I have tasted Laphroaig 10 year, but was not a fan. I much prefer Lagavulin.

Most people think all Islay Scotches are heavily peated, but that is not the case. There is one called Bunnahabhain (pronounced boo-ne-hav-en), which has very little peat. Name refers to the distilleries location in a town of that same name located at the "foot of the river".

That’s true but you can never go with Dalmore 12yrs it’s a nice whiskey my Fav, also Talisker is a good one too!! I haven’t tried any Japanese Whiskey’s Yet but heard they are ok…

Any other special whiskey’s out there?
