Crabbie's Yardhead Whisky 70cl

There seems to be a problem here….some decent ratings, some very good…then some terrible !
I think that people are so caught up in the trend of disguising non aged whiskey with sherry, bourbon, rum etc etc and many have forgotten…or never knewhow whisky used to taste ! I tried yardheid tonight and found it to be sweet, honey, a little sharp but half as much water makes it right for me…..definitely buy another bottle .

nice single malts for highballs and mizuwari's.

Very nice fresh whisky.Tried it as it was on offer in Morrisons. I drank it neat and also with soda,the only mixer I like. I love peaty malts but this is entirely drinkable.

I received a bottle of Crabbie's Yardhead for Xmas from my brother-in-law and each year we swap whiskeys we believe the other has not tried. I have given this whiskey two shots so far and both were very bleh, at least for my pallet. Almost a sour taste without any real smoke, peat, etc. Nothing particularly interesting or special for me and it just tastes like cheap blends I've had in the past. I have a dozen bottles of various types on my shelf right now and this is easily the one I'm least likely to pickup. I may try it as a mix ... but I have some pretty solid mix whiskeys which are the same price or cheaper...

One of the best single malts out of Scotland I have tried. Here in Canada we have several distillers who have perfected the building of single malt whiskies that would challenge even the best from Scotland. I am still glad I purchased this because it has a distinct taste that I find very enjoyable. Congratulations Crabbie's.

I was told to buy Crabbies Ginger Wine instead of supermarket brand to try a whisky mac. Found Yardhead, read the back of the bottle bought it and POW! Whisky Mac.

I won't drink it ahead of my other malts, but it's a better mixer than most cheap Whisky.

I thought that this was a decent whiskey for the price. Johnny Red is every bit as good and cheaper again. Either are great for cocktails, especially rusty nails!

Easy drinking with a chunk of ice BUT the real way to enjoy it is as a hot toddy.. how? Heated small mug, add a teaspoon of honey, a nip of Crabbies Green Ginger, a nip of Yardheid (Leith speak) top off with boiling water... keeps the cauld oot!..

First tasted last night very pleasant malt

Great for a homemade Lemsip!

2 generous teaspoons of honey, a double measure of yardhead a good squeeze of half a lemon and top up the mug with boiling water. Perfect!
