Yes it can be difficult to find decent blends that stand out on their own. The W&M special nose is of caramel and toffee - very nice indeed! However, I didn't find the palate that great, and the finish wasn't something I cherished. With that said, it wasn't unpleasant. It is what it is. A lot of people are reviewing it harshly or well and slating other reviews. My opinion is try it for your self and decide. Leave the trolls and snobs to their opinion war, and make up your own mind. This site is great for testing all sorts of new malts. Perhaps taking advantage of the samples that this site provides will help you a lot more than some of these reviews can.
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 !!
