A classic blend made up of 41 different whiskies. Whyte and Mackay special is a great mixer.
Its sweetness is balanced with good malt. Its almost like a bourbon. Definately speyside flavours over highland flavours. An extremely easy to drink whiskey that should please most palates. I normally drink single malts, but this is just devine
this is top stuff had a bottle smooth as silk no burn whoever says this is junk must go drink jeyes blue
This whiskey is tops slides down your throat like silk no burn on the throat not like other rotgut whiskies.
I am a fledgling fan of both Scotch whisky and Richard Paterson. I've heard about the W&M and I was eager to give it a try. Since rumours have it, that Dalmore and Fettercairn contribute strongly to this blend (obviously in character, not volume) I had some preconceptions, which were completely wrong. Both of those malts are oily, strong, mouth coating and have a heavy sweet taste. Think soggy, rich Christmas Pudding... This blend is nothing like that. It's a mans mans whisky. It is oily and strong alright, but personally I didn't find any of the sweetness and dessert qualities of either Dalmore or a good Fior. Think of this whisky as a burly Scot with thick forearms and a thick accent. A bit brutal, a bit rough around the edges but very friendly and honest. Very good fella to have in a dark alleyway. This is of course more an observation, than a criticism, but be aware of what you're getting up to. It is also excellently priced. Recommend. I admit I have never tried Teachers or Grants and I don't like the beer like, hop and malt scent and aftertaste of Bells.
of blended whiskies this is the top of my list, Grants will come second; anything else gets ginger. don't defile it with water or mixer. "overhyped junk" - HA! get a life. to reiterate down to personal taste and definitely worth exploring
