It's really smooth, albeit, I'm more of a bourbon aficionado. But, I usually don't like scotch whiskey, so for me to like it, I think it's pretty good!

But still i need to ...I tried to read all comments. But still i need to ask, i'm sorry. I don't have a characteristic whiskey taste. I tried just jameson, white horse, famous grouse, red label, black label, ballantines 12 yo, chivas regal 12 and jack daniels no7. Never find a chance to try any single malt. And i liked black label and jack daniels most. Chivas was not bad too. Now i'm planning to buy dimple 12 yo for new year but i can not be sure. Is it possible for anyone to give any advice about the differences for example between dimple and chivas or the others like black label oh and the gentlemen jack(never tried)? I mean, is there any obvious reason to chose one of them except the others? I really don't want a taste like red label or ballantines 12 years old but it is okay if it tastes like jack daniels. Also i really want to try gentleman jack. Under normal circumtances i dont bother you to answer these questions, i can buy a bottle of dimple and try but cant afford now and just left 3 days for new year. I would be appreciate for the answers. <br /><br />Thanks for this blog, have a nice day.

I am a sucker for unique bottles and interesting marketing ploys. I am 50yo and should be above it but alas it is who I am. Yes there have been disappointments along the way. I will eventually buy a bottle if I don't try it somewhere else first. If it is as horrible as you say then I will force my self to drink a 1/4 of the bottle then refill with laphroig, This homemade blending has worked well for the likes of Grants, Tomatin 12, AnCnoc 12, etc... you get the drift. <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-55397220827583437682016-10-29T14:25:11.439-03:002016-10-29T14:25:11.439-03:00It was also drank in the bedroom scene in the orig...It was also drank in the bedroom scene in the original - Thin Man - movie by William Powell.

It is very drinkable, if you want to get drunk or something, but not exciting at all. I can't wait to finish the bottle and buy proper blend (like Teachers or something).Very sweet on the nose and palate and no finish at all.

I am not a scotch or whiskey drinker. I have tasted several high dollar brands with a friend that is an aficionado. The few ($200+ bottles) I have tried with my friend, left me with a dry palate. This first glass hasn't done it. I will enjoy this first glass (oops it's gone)... I will enjoy this first bottle and the two and a half cases brought to my house. I dont think it is as bad as the review states, but then again I will take a good beer over a scotch. By good beer, I am referring to no American mainstream beers, and of course, my home made beer is the best- clearly an unbiased opinion. Whatever your libation, enjoy with family and friends, Cüby.

I disagree. The very fact, that it's very popular and it sells good - proves that it's quite good. However, it's not something to brag about and offer to people who don't regularly drink hard alcohol. It ain't my favorite, but it's great. Heavy drinkers won't make a bad decision to buy it, but people who like something light or honey taste or simply great smell ---> yeah, it's better to buy something else. This one is for people who are not scared from the real and strong whiskey.Pafkatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02384278646257750693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-2715710256702956992016-06-11T21:09:04.955-03:002016-06-11T21:09:04.955-03:00Meth might have something to do , but I haven'...Meth might have something to do , but I haven't touched it for 10+ years.

However, for a blended scotch (and they are blended for a reason- namely to make them smoother, and less constrained by any single characteristic) Dimple Pinch is high on the charts, and has been since my the days of my Father and his Father, etc. It has a nice thick maltiness to it that sticks to the glass when you are drinking it. Cutty Sark is OK, but a poor substitute for Dimple Pinch- a lot thinner and more pronounced Islay taste. Keep up your scotch tasting, you are on the right track- it's a very personal endeavor, and scotch, amongst all the liquors, reigns supreme with varieties to taste.
