High Commissioner is a blend of various malt and grain whiskies. It's actually not that bad, with a pretty decent balance of flavour.
It's value for money. No doubt. Has vanilla notes, and a spicy fragrance. Hints of caramel, and oak scent is evident. Soft on the palate and not harsh. A good whiskey. Had it with ginger ale and crushed ice. Delicious.
Recently I discovered this highly underrated whisky. What a bargain compared to many others,which to my mind are inferior. Very smooth to the palate. Good all round quality for an execllent and inexpensive whisky.
Smooth , well balanced and not too hard in the morning. And the best part is good value for money. Cheaper than the ones which are horrible and harsh on the palate.
The only current scotch that I matched to the taste of High Comm for the price is that supplied by Tesco stores ie. Tesco Special Reserve. Had hopes that the present cheap relabelled Famous Grouse would live up to the original quality - this is not so in my view - I find it tasteless. Are we in a market battle of the scotch suppliers?. I will have to give the Lidl Margot brand a try now - I enjoyed it in the past!
Best cheap scotch that was available. Now off local markets and replaced with cheap relabelled rubbish which I doubt has seen an oak bin. Now back to my old favourite Whyte & MacKay which shows a 3 year oak bin age. Is the online High Comm any good?
