Spanish whisky! Not something you see every day, but the DYC brand has actually been around since the 1960s! DYC stands for Destilerías y Crianza, which resides in beautiful Spain, producing these rather enjoyable blended whiskies. This is their 8 year old expression, which matures in American oak casks.
Nothing special, but it's decent, and in Spain the bottle is typically 10-12€. For the price nothing beats it.
DYC's normal whiskey is usually a mixer for long summer drinks. DYC 8 year old should be treated with greater respect and for me represents a better experience than the 10 year old. I will simply recommend that you pour some into a tumbler with an ice cube or two and see what you think.
A nice light quaffing whisky, well suited to warmer climates. Not as complex as some more northern offerings but certainly nothing wrong with it. Enjoy!
Ok, I'd been on a weekender in Benidorm and had had a number of Cereveza, but thought would try the DYC for a nightcap. I don't know what I'd been expecting, but it was good, definitely worth a try and not only if you've had a skinful in Morgans Tavern
