Special Reserve is an edition of Dew of Ben Nevis, a Highland blend with proportion of malt from the Ben Nevis distillery.
Fragrant, quite rich. Malt and hints of smoke, a touch of peat with honey and spice.
Balanced, toffee with oak, peat. Gentle fudge note.
Good length with toffee and oak.
For the money it's a great blend. Hints of the Macdonald's traditional from the same distillery (which is more than double the price) in its mix of smoke and sweetness, but where the MacDonald'so needs to be eaten with a spoon, this is lighter and dryer. I rarely drink blends but this is extremely passable. Also way better than the Nevis Dew Supreme Selection.
Это позор, худший бленд, что я имел несчастье пить!
Super blended whisky I love single malt but this little cheeky bottle slipped under the radar it is Magic You must try it
Good value for money if you are looking a budget blend. Sweet nose - very honeyed, bit of smoke and peat but quite light on both fronts. Smoke and peat and a sweetness (fudge) are also present on the palate which is quite robust - it's not super smooth but it has plenty of flavour. Medium length finish - slightly dry and oaky - like white wine but with some more peat. Works really well in cooking and it has enough flavour that you still taste it if you add ice or want a whisky to use for mixing. I don't think you will find a better, more consistent blend for less than £20.
