Dewars White Label Scotch

Pros: Well priced and good smooth taste with a bit of bite.
Cons: Nothing worth noting

Over the almost 40 years of drinking the number one hard liquor I have had is Scotch Whisky. I would also say that I have had more Dewar's than any other brand. One thing I have noticed if I ask for a scotch on the rocks without mentioning brands, the ...

Pros: Great, unusual tasting Scotch Whisky.
Cons: I don't have a Scotsman here with me right now.

While searching for a new liquor to review, I realized that I had only taste tested one Scotch. Good grief, what was I thinking! I love different whiskys! During my weekly trip to the local seller of spirits, I chose a bottle of Dewar's White Label ...

Pros: Almost always available, economical, finely blended
Cons: Not a single-malt

I have read a lot of the reviews of Dewar's White Label and I simply have to write a review that does this spirit some justice. I do not claim to be a major drinker that can point out the smells and tastes blindfolded, however, I have been to the ...

Pros: Friendly buzz, no hangover, delicious taste, mixes well.
Cons: Slightly pricey.

I've been drinking Dewar's almost exclusively for the past few years, ever since I discovered (to my horror) that I'm allergic to something in beer (perhaps the hops). I needed to find a drink that was available in just about every bar, since I like to...

Pros: Good Mixer
Cons: Not too smooth

My favorite drink used to be a Godfather. It's a mixture of Amaretto and Scotch. When you are going to mix a drink using scotch, you don't use the dust covered bottle of single malt scotch your grandfather passed down to you. However, you don't want...

Pros: Smooth, balanced, consistent taste
Cons: Like all booze, it takes a toll on ya

Dewars has become my favorite scotch. After youthful flirtations with the cheaper stuff, I've settled on Dewars as my favorite. Dewars marries a smoky taste with the lightness of a blended scotch. Somehow they've come up with a receipe that doesn't...

Pros: smooth, sweet
Cons: unless your friends drink Scotch Whisky, you will be laughed at.

As you can see by my age, I have not been a drinker for long ;-) But in that short existance, I have found my 2nd favorite drink. I thoroughly enjoy Dewar's White on the rocks. It is a perfect sipping drink appropriate for all situations.

...

Pros: Warm's the soul.
Cons: A bit pricey

The drinking man's scotch. I've not been a big scotch drinker in the past. Sure, I've had alot of whiskey/bourbons. But rarely the specifics of scotch. Dewar's has made a believer out of me. I'm sure I'm not the only one this little green bottle has...

Pros: Great Scotch
Cons: Great Scotch

Well when it's time to take a plunge into drinking don't be
shy give Dewar's Scotch Whisky a try. The White label variety is
especially smooth. It is great on the rocks as a shot, or you can
even nurse it for a while. One thing...

Pros: A great all around Scotch
Cons: Not the best out there

As a light drinker, it's odd that I would choose a scotch as my favorite. But, nevertheless, I have. Dewar's is the scotch that I was raised on- literally! My grandparents drank it/drink it, my parents drink it, my aunts/uncles drink it...it is truly a...

Pros: It's universally recognized and stocked nearly everywhere.
Cons: Although a solid "call" brand, it's often priced with the premiums.

Dewars is a light bodied scotch that is unusually smooth for it's age. It's notable taste holds up well in both cocktails and highballs. I think is the only scotch to be used in a Rusty Nail. I drink it 'on the rocks' (1" cubes only), and recommend you do the same.

One reason it may be the most popular scotch sold, is that it is rumored that it actually cleans 'dirty ice', as hangovers from Dewars are somewhat rare.

But Dewars greatest strength is it's unwavering consistency. Without getting into the particulars too deeply - Specific brands of blended whiskeys can vary from batch to batch due to the near impossible task of exactly recreating the balance of the blend. Dewars avoids this variation by some unique process, or so I'm told, resulting in a flavor that "Never Varies" batch to batch. Whatever - it works, and it works very well.
