“This is a beautiful whiskey, its mellow when first tasted followed by a real smokey after taste. Just buy two now. ”

Reviews for The English - Smokey

Pleasant, young malt

This lacks the depth of islay malt. Which it does not claim to be. However it is a nice tasting clean Smokey malt. To be enjoyed for what it is. I would buy this again.

Very surprised

True to say, on first tasting this is full of youthful exuberance, a bit of hooligan. BUT the after taste is divine. I don't proclaim to be a connoisseur but this is definitely worth trying.

A correction

Regarding the person claiming this is a grain whisky, it clearly says "single malt" on the label. It's decent but obviously extremely young.

Very tasty

If you want an Islay-type peated whisky, go and buy one. This doesn't aim to compete. It's altogether different and individual. The peat infuses the taste with smokiness, but it's far more three-dimensional than that. Perhaps it's a little sweet, but at least it's clean and not the heavy sweetness that you get with some sherried malts. I love it. I see that one reviewer has called it a grain whisky and gave it one star without even drinking it! I wonder what malt they were reviewing. Obviously not this one!

Awful, a charlatan spirit

This is a very poor quality grain whisky lacking any maturity or complexity. No age declaration. I was given this as a gift and won't drink it. I'm amazed at the price, it's really out of order. People are buying this in good faith and the price would indicate it's a good quality product. Shame MoM are stocking it.
