Dewar's is, in my mind a decent blended whiskey. I'm an Islay man myself. Like the peat and smoke. Dewar's is a nice clean blend that's a welcome, and cheaper change for me and some how makes the Islay taste all the better when re-visited. Bowmores, Talisker all great! Btw.. Mcclelland's Islay is a Bowmore 10-12 Single Malt which I think is better than the Legend at half the price. A great introduction to peated whiskey. No expert and new to Scotch myself. Just my take and personal taste. I do like a small dram every night and my blood work is better than it's ever been. Scotch is good medicine ;D
