A classic blend made up of 41 different whiskies. Whyte and Mackay special is a great mixer.
Half the price of chap bourbon (£12 a bottle here) this had me wondering what new depths of depravity I was aspiring to on Friday night. However. Was a surprised? Nose is as good as any bourbon I've had: lots of sugared fruit, vanilla, sherry notes etc. On ice it has a distinctly un-malt taste; again like bourbon. 40% so plenty of kick and the finish is smooth as silk. Genuinely impressed at the quality for the price. Single malt it is not but its completely drinkable neat on the rocks.
This is a good blend. I'd never drink an expensive single malt with ice but whyte&Mackay on ice tastes amazing!
Of the cheaper blended whiskies this one stands apart. A bargain price that is full of flavour unlike Bells, Teachers, Grants or Grouse. When the budget is tight this is my go to whisky, drunk neat a truly enjoyable dram.
Smooth, easy to drink. Not complex at all, but that's what makes it the perfect Friday evening Whisky
May lack some complexity, but for this price, it is a delicious alternative to those over priced single malts. Easy on the nose, palette and the wallet!!!!
