Coachbuilt Whisky 70cl

I found this a most pleasing whisky to enjoy of an evening with a splash of water and order a couple of ice cubes. I particularly liked the subtle hint of smoke…It just elevated the enjoyment for me.

I was sent this as a sample and have to say the tasting notes on this site are accurate for me. However, an interesting combination of flavours and notes with definite pineapple on the nose and the twang of gingersnaps on the palate, finished with a mild smokey peat. I imagine you could quickly make an interesting friend of a full bottle of Coachbuilt, to enjoy on a long summers evening.

Very well balanced with great floral notes and smooth finishing.

I tried this recently in a blend line up. It’s perfectly acceptable, however I’d perhaps use this as mixer which kind of makes it obsolete given the price. It’s a big premium to pay for a fancy bottle & celebrity association. I found Black Bottle (also in the same line up) to be far superior at half the price. Wink wink. Now you know. 2/5. Maybe 3/5 if it was £20/£25 a bottle.

Gifted a bottle of this for Christmas, and after several drams I’ve not found a bad word yet, an easy pleasant sipper, elegant in its taste

Having found this beauty in my Pour & Sip box I've learned one thing and that's "don't be snobbish about blended whisky". I should've known better than being that way after finding out that one of my faves is Bailie, Nicol & Jarvie.

Anyway, this whisky is one of those that just grabs you. It's great on the palate with some awesome notes and just never stops fading on the finish.

It's in the playground with its Adidas Samba on shouting at the rich kids and everyone is taking notice.....or so they should!
