A classic blend made up of 41 different whiskies. Whyte and Mackay special is a great mixer.
Wow, this stuff is garbage. Whyte & McKay's imperious, pompous "mixologist", Richard Paterson, is a disgrace to his own company for producing such dreck. The way he waxes poetic over his "meticulous blend selections", and the "double marriage" process used while making this stuff makes me wretch. While on the nose I actually get barley sugar, molasses, bees wax, pears and other fresh fruits, the taste is a complete and utter failure of dichotomy; bitter, sour, salty, characterless crap. There really is absolutely nothing to grasp on to with the indistinct flavor of this "whisky". Just no character whatsoever other than adjectives I used above. What's even worse is the finish leaves and aftertaste like I licked the bottom of a crusty old ashtray. I shake my head in sadness when I think of how many people might have been turned off of scotch by their first experience with this stuff. When you look up the word "fail" in the whisky dictionary, there is a depiction of the Whyte & McKay bottle rendered in Crayon next to it. A word to the initiated: THERE ARE MUCH BETTER BLENDS THAN THIS GARBAGE!!! 'Nuff said.
Very decent whisky for the price. Smooth and sweet, with no oily overtones. Not as good as Chivas Regal but as good as any Johnny Walker, Dewars, JB etc. I am no expert but I can enjoy a glass of this with spring water anytime.
When you have learned to appreciate fine whisky you will quickly realize that as far as blends go in this price level, if you think Johnnie Black is the benchmark then this exquisite blend just blew them right out of the water! This said I am a sherry cask lover...
An acquired taste? - The trouble is I just cannot acquire it. It's a rough as they get from Scotland.
Not good. Needs a lot of water to be even tolerable. Sickeningly sweet.
