A classic blend made up of 41 different whiskies. Whyte and Mackay special is a great mixer.
It has a lot of sherry casks influence, doesn't have too much alcohol on your nose, finishes very quickly and has a very weak body. For the price of it, you can't ask much but if you have a little more to spend, buy the 13 yo instead of this one, it has a lot more sherry influence, very strong raisins notes, nice medium body, has a medium finish and a very nice aftertaste.
Got this for £12 on offer at my local OneStop as all other shops had closed. Very good value for money, has a lot of sherry influence for a cheap blend. Nice to sip neat, couldnt ask for more at this price point.
Fresh fruit, Christmas cake, toffee, pepper and salty caramel. Master blender Patrick Patterson knows what he's doing. Delicious. The price does not reflect the quality of this dram.
Gets an extra star for being unbelievably good value, you can pick it up in supermarkets for under £15. Very drinkable on its own or with a little water and ice, it won't blow you away so would have given 3 stars. I tend to use it with mixers, cocktails etc. Where it works very well!
I love a good smooth malt. I also take cheap blends between periods of celebration. This is the best by a long chalk. Reminiscent of some less good malts. But eminently drinkable without water!
