The Gaelic Whisky Company are renowned for being independent through-and-through and produce whisky for whisky's sake. Rumour has it they are constructing a distillery on the Isle of Skye which will certainly be one to watch! This blend combines peat and brine with some soothing highlights from Speyside.
The aroma amalgamates coastal elements with peat and sherry in a Highland style.
Coffee and salt are very present with a hint of peat and some sweeter notes of caramel in the background.
The finish is hot and spicy and clings on for some time.
This great blended whisky is a challenge and that's a compliment. It forces the drinker to take stock and appreciate its many elements. Superb!
4/5 for value/price. Easy drink with a slight bite. Coastal, salty and brine on nose. Cherry, toffee and big camel all the way till fairy long sweet finish. Very nice overall considering low price.
Cracking Whisky,not to peaty and very smooth
I have just started my Scotch journey, so glad I found Te Bheag. This is what I imagined Scotch would be.
As I sit in the comfort of my massage chair on a chilly winter's eve, this whiskey warms me to the bones. It's pleasant not punishing slightly sweet but not overpowering. When I close my eyes and take a sip, I can imagine sitting on a rugged section of a beach with a fire burning and the pungent smell of sea air and burning wood permeates the air.
I found this whisky quite by accident during whilst traveling through the Hebrides years ago. It is a wonderful whisky at a very good price; for $35 CAN I don't know of a whisky that can compare to it. Fiery yet subtle, sweet but organic, there is a nice peaty trace and that lovely mineraly taste that good Scottish whiskys have.
