Whyte and Mackay Special Blended Scotch Whisky

I had a bottle bought for me,I had been putting off opening it to be openly honest,but there you go,I was very surprised by the quality & taste,
I'm also loving the tamnavulin double cask by whyte & mackay aswell, quality

Not a whisky that I have bought, but was one that was given to me as a gift. I was surprised as to how nice it was; better than Black Label which I normally buy. Smooth taste, full of delicate flavours. Surprising good, and better than most that I have drunk in recent years.

Decent blend at £17 a 1l in 2023

Feels watery in the mouth with little or no aftertaste. Very disappointing.

My go to blend , its easy drinking medium finish , malty

Sweet, smooth, complex, too easy to drink. Brilliant value. I don’t know how they do it for the low price.
I first tasted this after winning a bottle at a wonderful village event in Inveraray during a memorable holiday in Scotland. The whisky was as warming and welcoming as the people of this lovely town.

In common with my recent experience and review of High Commissioner, I was given a complementary dram of this on a train journey. Once again a dram, for which I had low expectations, turned out to be very nice indeed. Beautifully sweet, mellow, very drinkable and moreish. This was my late Dad's whisky of choice, but alas I was too young to drink it with him then and ironically I have never tried it until now, many years later. I'll definitely be buying this.

Walnuts dipped in Honey . Great value for the price.

This is my choice when I feel like a ‘sweet’, undemanding, but very enjoyable whisky.
I have, and enjoy, a wide range of single malts but this is not a direct competitor. It should be judged for what it is - an attractive, great value, consistent, honeyed, smooth blend.

When it comes to whisky, I honestly don’t think you can find better value for money than Whyte and Mackay. Although uncomplicated, it is rich, smooth, sweet and quite intense. Much more than just a mixing whisky. Two teaspoons of water improve it further. Money well spent in my opinion.
