Dewars reviews

This is an older bottling of Dewar’s White Label, with no mention of contents or ABV on the label. Yet the print on the back of the label claims it’s from 1975. That’s liquid history in my book, for I…

Basic Dewar's blend, thought of mainly as a mixer (check the attached pic and you'll a terrible high glass filled with terrible ice cubes) but not as bas as I first believed when sipped on its own (well…

OK, so here we have a rarity, an oddity, a one-of-a-kind. Or maybe just something uncommon. 'Tis but a 1970's bottle of Ancestor, that Dewar's dram of yore, that happened to be available for a friend and…

I found another one of these auldies: the Dewar’s White Label. According to the info on my label, this was bottled in 1971. I was still in diapers. It is still quite a popular blend today, costing a mere…
