        "content": "I dug up several expert reviews and tasting impressions of **Thinkers \u201cDew of B\u2019dolah\u201d Bourbon** from Thinkers Distillery in Jerusalem. While I didn\u2019t find anything specifically referencing \u201cDouble Lion,\u201d all of the reviews seem to match the product labeled as Dew of B\u2019dolah\u2014which is likely what LCBO is listing as \u201cDouble Lion\u201d (there may be a naming overlap or alternate name in translation). Here\u2019s what connoisseurs are saying:\n\n---\n\n## What Critics & Experts Are Saying\n\n### Master of Malt Review  \n- **Origin & production**: This bourbon is a single barrel, unfiltered, brewed on a wheated mash bill in the U.S., then shipped for further maturation. ([masterofmalt.com](https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/ki-the-israel-distilling-co/thinkers-dew-of-bdolah-bourbon-whiskey/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Aging process**: It spends 4 months in the U.S., then 6 months at sea (across the Atlantic & Mediterranean), followed by *another 3.5 years* in open-air conditions in Israel. ([masterofmalt.com](https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/ki-the-israel-distilling-co/thinkers-dew-of-bdolah-bourbon-whiskey/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Tasting notes**:  \n  - *Nose*: Toasty spices, cherries, manuka honey, peaches.  \n  - *Palate*: Vanilla, cinder toffee, dark chocolate, oak char, coffee.  \n  - *Finish*: Winter spice and caramel. ([masterofmalt.com](https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/ki-the-israel-distilling-co/thinkers-dew-of-bdolah-bourbon-whiskey/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### Jerusalem Post  \n- The *Jerusalem Post* piece describes \u201cDew of B\u2019dolah\u201d as having been **born in the U.S.**, then **matured at sea**, and finally **aged and bottled in Israel**, reflecting a multi-stage maturation process. ([jpost.com](https://www.jpost.com/food-recipes/article-729975?utm_source=openai))  \n- Their quotes from Thinkers\u2019 founder emphasize *balance* and letting \u201ceach flavor get a turn to be experienced.\u201d ([jpost.com](https://www.jpost.com/food-recipes/article-729975?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Overall Impressions\n\nWhat emerges from the reviews is a whisky with:\n\n- A **complex multilayered nose** (fruit, honey, spice)  \n- Rich, sweet, and indulgent **palate**: vanilla, toffee, dark chocolate, coffee\u2014offset with oak char  \n- A **finish** that stays long: sweet-caramel, winter spice, lingering oak  \n\nIt seems the whiskey leans toward dessert-like richness while remaining well-modulated, likely thanks to the extended maturation in both maritime and open-air conditions.\n\n---\n\nIf you\u2019d like, I can compare \u201cDouble Lion\u201d with \u201cDew of B\u2019dolah\u201d and see if they\u2019re exactly the same or if there are subtle differences\u2014people sometimes mention confusion over labels."

([cigarmag.co.il](https://cigarmag.co.il/thinkers-furthered-dew-of-bdolah-bourbon/?utm_source=openai))  \n- In Hebrew reviews: it\u2019s described as having **\u201ccomplex, distinct and balanced flavors\u201d** \u2014 smooth and sharp with a pronounced character. ([lizlol.co.il](https://lizlol.co.il/thinkers-distillery-bourbon-12865?utm_source=openai))  \n- Many reviews note the price is steep (often ~350 NIS in Israel), but most feel the flavor and prestige justify it. ([cigarmag.co.il](https://cigarmag.co.il/thinkers-furthered-dew-of-bdolah-bourbon/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Overall Summary \u2014 What to Expect\n\nFrom what I've collated:\n\nPros:\n\n- Really rich and dessert-like flavor profile: expect **vanilla, caramel, chocolate, toasted oak, and roasted coffee**. The texture is smooth and balanced. ([masterofmalt.com](https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/ki-the-israel-distilling-co/thinkers-dew-of-bdolah-bourbon-whiskey/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Lots of character from aging at sea and open-air in Israel which adds maritime and environmental influence. ([thinkersdistillery.com](https://thinkersdistillery.com/en/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Seeing strong reception both locally and internationally \u2014 especially among whiskey enthusiasts who like craft / boutique whiskeys. ([thedailypour.com](https://thedailypour.com/spirit/thinkers-furthered-dew-of-bdolah-bourbon/?utm_source=openai))\n\nCons / Caveats:\n\n- It\u2019s pricey, especially relative to more mainstream Bourbons. Some view the cost as high even for quality. ([atlantajewishtimes.com](https://www.atlantajewishtimes.com/this-israeli-bourbon-is-mashed-in-ohio-and-aged-in-haifa/amp/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Its flavor style may lean sweet/dessert-like, which might not be for those who prefer smoky, heavily oaked, or sharper Bourbon profiles.  \n- As a single-barrel release, there's some variation between bottles: different barrels produce subtly different ABV and character. ([thedailypour.com](https://thedailypour.com/spirit/thinkers-furthered-dew-of-bdolah-bourbon/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can try to find user ratings like from Whiskybase or Reddit to see how enthusiasts compare it to well-known Bourbons in its price bracket."
