Insider knowledge: Bells Original whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from Scotland. If distilled in America the spelling would be Bells Original whiskey, as opposed to whisky.
Nose: Quite soft and gentle. Malted barley and hints of cut herbs and a fresh floral note. Cereal and grist with a little honey. Palate: Quite smooth, medium body. Barley and cereals with nut oils, hints of wood and spice. Finish: Short with notes of fruitcake and smoke.
The Master of Malt
Tramp balls and toilet duck
Tastes like a vagrant's nut-sack dipped in cleaning fluid (or at least what I imagine that might taste like). Unless you're a hardened alcoholic (and if you're looking at whisky reviews you may well be... albeit a rich one) then this isn't going to go down smooth.
BELLS ORIGINAL
Very peaty and harsh I should say - why no warning Morrisons?
Creosote
You're better off painting your fence with this stuff rather than drinking it.
review of bells
ignore every other review it is an excellent drink
Very Nice and unique
Was introduced to Bell's about 20 years ago. Very nice flavor.

Forget your lagavulins and your taliskers. You can keep them. The others arent even in the same street compared to thee. The bell calls me to dinner. A fruity refreshing taste
Pure class
Sounds like most of the reviewer's had a bit too much--- of something!!
The last resort
A mediocre taste at best. Poor nose and flavour. Best consumed quickly- Left to breathe it turns amazingly flat and dull pretty fast with a taste medicinal Chinese herb roots. What Fruitcake,honey and fresh floral notes? I'd rather drink JW Red than this.
Great no afterburn like some
very nice with a bit of fresh pinapple. but a 70cl bottle don,t last a day so please keep whacking it out by the litre or next size up (barrel).

as for me, it's mediocre swill
Not For Some
There is something off about the aftertaste of this whisky, I've seen some people compare it to coriander and various other herbs but I can't quite pinpoint it myself. A few of my friends have absolutely no trouble drinking this and enjoying it but both me and another friend of mine cannot physically stand the aftertaste, it actually makes me shudder when I try to drink it. This is a shame because newcomers to scotch might end up buying this and being put off scotch for life.
Goats.
Do goats eat fried eggs and do they like tap dancing?
