Bell's Original 1l Whisky

Superb

No doubt like many others, I have bought 1970s and 1980s bottlings of Bells in whisky auctions to compare to the modern day stuff like this. I can say unequivocally and undisputedly that comparison is futile - they do not compare both in the sense that the older bottles are infinitely better AND that they are not even reminiscent of each other.

I have done this with Bell's, Grouse, White Horse, Teacher's, VAT 69 and Black & White - all with the same result.

Given the shift in interest towards single malt and the surge in popularity of whisky as a whole, this is predictable and the logical result.

However, I wish brands would stop pretending modern-day blends are the same proposition. They're not. They're young, grain-heavy drinks that are, at best, acceptable and, in most cases, for mixing.

Got a bottle bought me by a friend of the wife, thought have it when getting short off the good stuff, when I had a drink a few weeks later I was amazed, it is better than some whiskies i have paid double and triple that amount for, I was telling people what a great whisky it was

I’m a big whiskey man and lover of whiskey bells is honestly amazing! It has an oaky flavour and comes off with sweet refreshing taste to the buds! Not to strong and.is a scotch best!

Smoothest Scotch blend on the market

Great Stuff

EDIT: I obviously meant a 100cl bottle, sorry about the typo. If you were getting 1000cl then I would be asking the people buying the 70cl bottle why they were getting so badly ripped off!

OK you want Bell's that is your choice. But why are you buying it in a 1000cl bottle when it is cheaper per dram to buy the 70cl? If you do the maths the 70cl bottle is £21.07/litre. This is £22.90/litre. It is the same whisky!

Idont know what has happened to my favourite blended whisky,it isnt a patch on what I regarded as pure heaven.Too much meddling with a great product,I suspect with a view to the sacred cow,PROFIT OVER PRODUCT.

it is for sure not the best, but a very good one!!
