Nose: Immediately after pouring, alcohol and sweetness dominate, then vanilla and spices emerge, with a subtle hint of fruit. This reflects standard bourbon cask aging. Taste: Sweet, vanilla, oak, and spices. Unremarkable, yet agreeable. Slightly rough. Finish: Brief and direct. Overall: 2.7 stars (72 points)

About this bottle
William Lawson's 13 Year is named after a notable 19th-century blender at E & J Scotch. The primary component of this blended Scotch is Macduff Glen Deveron. Although it is an unpeated Scotch, the whisky is finished in charred bourbon casks to impart a smokier character.
