High Commissioner Whisky 70cl

First time trying this and I'm not no whisky connoisseur but I'm gonna say it's a decent little taste
Quite easily sit and polish a bottle of this on me own

Bottoms up too that I do say

I have been trying a lot of blended whiskies over the past 2 years with the purpose of finding something good and payable to serve as a daily dram. The standard to wich I compare is JWBlack label, also for the malts. In the blended whiskies JWBlack is for me almost unbeatable and is regularly better than some malts. This High Commisionar is the second blend in my bar at 1/3 of the price of JWBlack but certainly not at 1/3 of the quality. At 43% ABV, in my area, it is an outstanding dram.

This is a very smooth whisky at a very good price

Cheapest lower shelf blend in my area but easily the best. Excellent value for money.

Excellent whisky at this price

Sipping this next to Whyte and Mackay in 2023 there's no question this is the better whisky. Whyte and Mackay used to be good but has slipped in quality recently . High commissioner tastes cleaner without that overly used barrel taste W&M now has and there's a definite touch of peat which makes it more interesting.

For the price it's an excellent mixer , it's also brilliant on its own or with a little water , ice. Full natural well balanced flavour , yes repeat this really is good enough to drink on its own , some cheap whiskeys are crap , this is not.

Brilliant whisky. Can't believe it's so cheap for its quality. Better than some single malts. Full of flavour. Can't fault it.

Same as a few other reviewers I had this on the train down to London and it was surprisingly pleasant, I was immediately caught of guard with the slightly similar aroma to Demerara rums I've had previously and enjoyed the slightly fruity and smoky palate.

Great value
