Whyte and Mackay 13 Year Old

It´s a very special blend. Excellent!

For me is just water, it has almost no taste, in the nose is fine and has a little bit of sherry due to de extra year, but that's it, not of my kind.

One of the best value blends in the market today. Starts off with a decent nose with rich malty aromas coming through. Rich and robust delivery with good mouth feel, some ripe red fruits and distinct sherry sweetness on the palate. The grain and malt are well integrated with neither dominating. The finish is decent. This was one big surprise for me and I was quick to buy another bottle.

Alcohol and wood almost kill me at first... this is the worst and cheapest 12 years old "or more"... whisky i ever taste.

I’ve never been a big fan of the standard ‘Special’ Whyte & Mackay, don’t get me wrong I’m not a malt snob, I am capable of enjoying a dram of cheap blends but I’ve always thought ‘Special’ is a bit too sweet and has too vague malt character, it is dominated by the young slightly rough grains helped only by a bit of sherry cask influence. This ‘Thirteen’ though is leagues ahead of ‘Special’, the grain whiskies seem to have been smoothed out with the extra time in the casks, the malt character is a bit more pronounced and it has a more clearly defined sherry influence. In my opinion it’s one of the best value whiskies money can buy, anyone that says this is a poor whisky doesn't know what they’re talking about.

Starts off ok with reasonable malt whiskey aromas & sweet / creamy in the mouth, but the finish is just grain spirit which made me shudder.

Probably just right to finish a heavy evening in a Glasgow boozer. But for me this bottle is going to the back of the cupboard, its barely drinkable.

Forgot to give this a star rating on my previous post.

Good beginner whisky. Nice rounded flavours and very easy to drink. Though lacks any real distinguishing characteristics. Would recommend for anyone just getting into whisky drinking. But if you are looking for something more complex then maybe not the whisky for you.

After I tried special, which is actually a nice entry level blend, this tasted like a really cheap armagnac and is obviously dissapointment. Richard Paterson should be ashamed!

I am from America and all my gay friends love this whisky! You'll be taking Favre pictures in no time.

The softness, creamyness on the nose. Lovely.This whisky tastes exactly as described above. It is great dram.Have to try the older brothers 19 and 22. Pleasant whisky experience. Bargain at the price.
