DEWARS SCOTCH BLENDED DOUBLE DOUBLE AGED 21YR 375ML

Finished in Oloroso sherry casks. Classically sherried, with intense orange oil and nutty character and secondary notes of cracked black pepper and a touch of meaty bacon and cut hay (the grain whiskey peeking its head out). The palate follows much in a suit, sweet and bursting with flavor, though it initially comes across as a bit boozy, with a bit more granary character than I was expecting. Those sherry notes are quite enduring, though, and hard to ignore, particularly on the sharp finish.
