My favourite blended whisky. Usually £13 for 70cl bottle in my local Asda, has recently been on special offer for £12 and is now £12.50 - an absolute bargain!
Absolutely underwhelmed. I love my single malts and some blends. This whisky is soo boring, it's smooth and that is all, no character, no taste, I definitely prefer a Teachers highland cream, less smooth but lots of taste and character.
Bought my first bottle in Edinburgh at a whiskey shop. Was looking for a single malt (price). The owner said I picked a scotch that is a real winner as a blended scotch. I love the strong woody tast & very full body. To me it really taste as if it was a single malt !! It truly is a winner & very smooth !!
As far as blended whisky goes, you know it's a good one if you can drink it neat !! I hadn't tasted whisky for 2 years- until tonight I fancied a change from Spanish beer and remembered I still had a half full litre bottle left- a large bowl glass half filled with ice cold water, swirled around before drinking leaves a nice cold glass with a slight residue of water- a generous tot of poured into the still cold glass tastes like heaven while typing this comment !!
There's always a bottle of Special in my whisky cabinet. Sometimes I feel like a tipple, but not at the expense of my Glenlivet or Clynelish, and this blend suits that purpose. There's a bit more "fire" in this blend, but it's easy to get used to, and it shines with a small amount of fresh NZ water. Well done, Mr Paterson!
