“Not the absolute worst "economy", bottom-shelf blend...”

Written on: 13/05/2011

Not the absolute worst "economy", bottom-shelf blend (solid compared to the sordid likes of Clan Magregor and J@B), but not great value-for-money here. Cheap malt on the nose, with a taste that begins fairly sweet and malty, and only halfway succesfully dries the palate with a slightly peppery finish with a modest puff of sherry smoke. I wouldn't turn a free dram down in disgust, but there's better in the price range, and even for a bit cheaper, such as Teacher's Highland Cream, Black Bottle, and Islay Mist 8.
