Tasting the New Scotch Blends

Return to main article

Campbeltown Loch
($36) Pale in color, extraordinarily delicate and balanced in flavor, with just a whiff of smoke.

The Classic Cask
($250) Aged 35 years, with unusual rumlike warmth and richness. Apple and orange flavors dominate.

Compass Box Hedonism
($52) A light-hearted, sweet-tasting blend of aged grain whiskies. Easy and fun to drink.

Dewar's 12-Year-Old
($40) Combines the roundness and depth of an older whisky with the brand's familiar smoothness.

Johnnie Walker Blue Label
($210) Like Johnnie's Black Label only more so: big, smoky and compelling.
