A very smooth blended Scotch with a distinct honey flavour. In 1997 it won the International Spirits Challenge.
Well as u said I like it, the smokey note at the end is what I particularly enjoy.
Why change????????
This whisky has been off the shelves for a while in South Africa, and has been recently introduced back into the market. Scottish Leader has been rebranded and repackaged and comes in other variants as well, but this review is all about the Original. To be honest, I was very excited to purchase and could not wait to taste what I remembered to be a very pleasant entry level whiskey. Boy, was I surpised. The colour, nose, complexity of flavours and smokiness had all changed, and for the better! I have no idea what the rest of the "connoisseurs" on this page have been drinking or are referring to, but Scottish Leader has become a firm favourite in my household. I've even left some more famous (and more expensive) whiskies in my untouched in my cabinet and opted for this week after week in front of the braai. Cheers to an amazing, affordable whisky. 5 stars for flavour, smokiness and amazing value for money! Top-notch!
I'll keep this short and sweet, much like the finish of this whisky. Tescos sell it for £12.70 and for the price it's pretty Damn good. Some good lemon and smoke notes, plus if you add a drop of Laphroaig to it, the Scottish leader really comes into its own.
Unfortunately whn is come to learning what a bad whisky 'is' this lesson is not just hard but tastes bad going down. Seriously, why waste your money just buy a 'real' whisky like Glenlivet. It is not great but about the same price and actually tastes like whisky. For a better description of the whisky see the review titled 'A caramel swamped horror.' It is about 15 reviews down. Not the one with all the ???????????? he's an idiot!
