Description: William Lawson’s 13-Year-Old Blended Scotch Whisky offers a bold, smooth character. Aged for 13 years, it develops rich depth and complexity. The nose reveals warm caramel, toasted oak, and subtle spice. The palate delivers notes of dried fruits, vanilla, and dark chocolate. A velvety texture enhances its balanced sweetness and smoky undertones. The finish is long, warming, and slightly peppery. Crafted without peat, it focuses on pure malt and grain flavors. This whisky is perfect neat, on the rocks, or in premium cocktails. Experience a refined yet rebellious blend that embodies the spirit of William Lawson’s.
Color : Very light golden wheat.
ABV% : 43%
Characteristics : Chocolate, Citric, Dried Fruit, Honey.
Nose : Initial sweetness of grape jelly and preserved grapes. It is followed by toffee and burnt caramel. There is almost a slight cognac note in the background. It’s a not very complex nose. The addition of water seems to bring out some floral notes.
Taste : After the sweet nose, the spiciness of the palate comes as a surprise. The initial spice is followed up with layers of wood and oak before drifting away into pectin and dried citrus peel. William Lawson’s whisky is a bit rough and unfinished. It is as if the flavour notes haven’t come together properly.
The addition of water transforms the whisky, making it smoother and a bit easier drinking. Gone are most of the spice, but it does bring forward some of the oak and a little bit of a leather flavour.

Finish : Long and lingering, but not in a good way. It retains an element of raw almost turpentine floating about.
