Whyte and Mackay 13 Bottling Note

The world famous range of blends created by James Whyte and Charles Mackay, founding the company, as they did, in 1844. This is the core bottling, at an unusual 13 years of age.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

The nose is quite rich and well-balanced. There are notes of oak and resin, a touch of sherried peels and Oloroso, a little honeyed sweetness. The palate is quite thick with a good mouth feel. There are notes of honey and sherry and a little smoke. The finish is of good length.

Not Good Enough.

Barely drinkable. Poor taste, no where nearly as good as Chivas Regal 12 years for a few pounds extra. Very disappointing.

Lovely Blend

It's one of my favorite 12 yo blends so far (it's 13 but I classified it as 12 yo category).

It's not one of the cheapest, but gives you a nice body and a good complexity of flavours in your mouth, especially Tea and Raisins notes to your palate. If you add a teaspoon of water, it reveals a hidden smokiness note on the finish but not too much like JW Black Label.

Sherry casks maded a nice work on this particular blend, this is a must have if you like whiskies with those particular notes given by the Sherry casks.

Just buy it, you won't regret it! 10/10

Mr. Peters

It´s a very special blend. Excellent!

Very poor taste

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.

Good value blend - one to have in the cabinet.

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.

The Thirteen

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

Whyte & Mckay Thirteen

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.

not very nice

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.

Easy to drink.

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.

Lacklustre

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!

Love this whisky!

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.
