Hello! It's grain whiskey
IMHO grain whiskey is blended with malt whiskey to stretch the malts. Drinking a single grain whiskey is like kissing your sister. Trust me, the best way to taste grain whiskey is have one sip and then throw away the bottle. Do a test taste, comparing Beckham's Haig Club, Black Bottle, Black Grouse, Famous Grouse plus any malt of your choice. I guarantee that the more expensive Haig Club will finish last. Now why can't Becks stick to Pie and Mash and finally bring us the PM restaurant he promised?

The worst tasting whisky EVER...if one can even call it whisky
I've never tasted petrol before but this "whisky" would be what I'd imagine petrol to taste like. NO flavour whatsoever and it felt like I was drinking some kind of chemical laced with alcohol. What a waste of my money. Beckham had better quickly distance himself from this awful poison.

Cheap and sickly tasting
After having experienced Grant's Black Barrel and Snow Grouse grain whiskys, the latter being a mere blended, I had high hopes for this exotic looking dram, especially at £45!. The packaging is great - thank the lairds there's no picture of DB on it, the bottle looks uber cool, the metallic topped cork stopper has real bling class - you can tell where this is going.... then you pour a shot into a chilled glass. First taste - oooooer the wrong side of sweet as in sticky toffee pudding, but like an over scented Yankee Candle. Then on ice - same story. Don't even bother adding water - makes it more sickly. I like my whisky to keep me wanting just one more taste... or double, but this one was quite nausiating and sticky - nothing delicate, interesting, subtle, in fact, quite possibly the most disappointing whisky I have ever drunk. In my view, this is just marketing ess aitch one tea! Don't waste your money on it. Oh, and I'm no great whisky snob - I would rather spend the same money (£45) on Aldi's Highland Black, Waitrose's 8yo blended and Tesco's 12 yo blended even though they are priced between £19 and £13! Beckham.... go back to your Malibu and Coke!
