Presented in its iconic bottle, this classic premium blend remains a hallmark of whisky excellence. Indulge in its richness, smoothness, and complexity, revealing notes of crème brulee, cinnamon, vanilla, and dark chocolate, making it a truly exceptional choice for connoisseurs.
One of the good things about that bottle is how it shows off Dimple’s color, a pleasant light amber, somewhere in the place where orange meets gold.
The key characteristic of Dimple is how light and understated it is. The nose is floral and toffee and caramel sweet, underscored by a dry woody note. The flavor has a medium-bodied, butterscotch and toffee character, with a light, but still spicy pepper note and a tinge of dry wood. The flavor unfolds off the pepper, leaving a restrained afterglow with light warmth.
The Price
Dimple has a fairly solid international following, and it’s not hard to see why. One might look at the age statement and go “that must cost a pretty penny,” but it actually doesn’t. The numbers on Dimple seem to be around a consistent “35” wherever I see them, in dollars, pounds, or euros. For Americans, that means a nice blended scotch priced in the same range as the typical small batch bourbon, and for Europeans makes for a good deal.
