A classic blend made up of 41 different whiskies. Whyte and Mackay special is a great mixer.
Whyte and Mackay is my go to evening dram. My late father always had it and Dewars in the cupboard. I like it neat over ice. For me it has more depth than Bells, Teachers, Grouse or Grant's. At the price point, I think it's unbeatable.
I DO NOT PRETEND TO BE A WHISKY CONISEUR OR EVEN EDUCATED IN THE SUBJECT BUT I HAVE A GOOD GLUG IN MY HORLICKS EVERY NIGHT AND IT SUITS ME AT £16 PER LITRE ON OFFER AT MORRISONS AND I WOULD AND HAVE DONE WITH A 1971 MILLBURN I BOUGHT 9 YEARS AGO. WONDER HOW MUCH THAT WOULD COST NOW IT WAS £120 IN 2011..
I know with whisky it’s each to their own and it’s personal taste but this blend is better than the other big players on the market I think! The maturation and marrying of the grain and malt whiskies in sherry casks is what makes this one stand out! It’s got a lovely sweet sherry note with some fruity tones and malt flavours in there too! I’m useualy a single malt man but because I pay for everything for my family I just can’t afford single malts the moment but for the flavours going on this will more than do me for now!im not sure why the chaps here haven’t left any tasting notes but for those on a budget and especially sherries whisky fans this will fill the gap very well!thank you Whyte and mackay for a blend that I actually like!great little ripple I think!
overall flavor was good, but for some reason cause of its smoothness it doesnt taste pleasant, well in my personal preference i like it when it hits you hard with thesame funk and burn when u drink rum. and i think johnny red tastes better and is more complex than this. yea sure it has those earthy, oaky, and a bit of sweetness in the taste. but because of the smoothness, it kinda ruined the experience of it.
Wouldn’t drink neat. Good drink to mix with ginger ale.
