Mr. Dowell’s No1 Reserve Whisky pours into the glass with an appealing light golden hue. Aromas show a firm butterscotch scent ring within the wood and grain spices of the spirit. I would describe the aroma as honeyed with a mixture of sweet grain spice and butterscotch, coupled with fine oak spice and hints of malt. Hints of almond round out the whisky with a nice note of complexity.
