Customer Reviews:
I would class this as a grower. It seemed a bit simple and sweet at first but after a while I really started to enjoy it and would be happy to recomend it to anyone wanting a smooth easy drinking dram.

Just a really nice uncomplicated and easy-drinking malt - you can even have it with ice in the summer! I like the peaty/Islay stuff too, but no reason to be be dismissive of this great value 10 yo. The only real problem is that it's dangerously quaffable!
- Paul, 8th Nov '11
A pure, simple but brilliant reflection of Speyside Single Malt. If you want to transform this drink into something totally different - take a few drams from the bottle and top it up with Drambui and refrigerate it. NECTAR! A pleasant alternative to dessert wine, and it goes down a hit with the ladies at parties and also for dinner guests who don't normally drink whisky. SLANJE!

I prefer Irish normally but have started to dabble in some Scotch tasting. This is a very nice whiskey. Sweet and smooth. You could do a lot worse. What a delight!
- J Mc Beth, 7th Jun '11
A very tempting nose, one of the best in single malts. Even better honeyed, sherried, bourbon-vanilla palate. Excellent stuff! Although, the finish is rather short and the whole malt would probably be even better at 43 %.
- Mikko, 7th Mar '11
The Beatles of whiskey: anyone can enjoy it, it is accessible but, if you want it to be, it has it's own complex network of flavours. This is the antithesis to smoky, peaty, salty malts like Jura or - gulp - Talisker. But then I am only 28, and not accustomed to fishing off the Hebrides on a cold winters day. A warm, honeyed hug in a bottle. The soft name rolls off the tongue. The sweet malt inside rolls down the tongue.

For years I always said I didn't like whisky, that changed about 15 years ago when I was lucky enough to visit the Aberlour distillery. At the end of the very interesting tour you're given a small shot and the tour guide explained that while there were jugs of water on the table you should try it neat. I can drink some other whiskies now but aberlour remains my firm favourite.

Whatever may be said about it, it still knocks the socks off the Glenfiddich and the Macallan.
- Dave S, 19th Dec '10
Classic Speyside and good value... a very nice rich biscuity sherry taste though a pretty short finish
- Mr T, 17th Dec '10
Sorry I just get nothing from this.
- anonymous, 24th Sep '10
One of the best Scotch whiskey 10 years. Smell a pleasant aroma of malt and biscuit. In the mouth delicate and well structured a very pleasant mild pungency and a slightly bitter finish. A truly remarkable persistence of taste. Try to drink along with some biscuits or a dark chocolate pudding, I think is a true delight.
- R.Bissoli, 6th Sep '10
Amazing stuff for the price! I have two ranges of scotch at home: collectible and drinkable. While this one is clearly in the 'drinkable' section, for the same price as a Glenfiddich 12 or Glenlivet 12, it's miles ahead. Give it a shot!
- Matt, 30th Aug '10
Agree with most of the comments here. It is quite innocent initially, and sweet - a little light for my liking. the finish gets interesting though - warming with a hint of sherry spice. A fine entry level single malt, but if you want something more substantial and robust you should travel to Islay or Skye.
- anonymous, 29th Aug '10
Great Malt Whiskey. A bargain at just over ?20.
- Old Sam, 1st Aug '10
I would like to agree with Ed Wigget...I find this a good scotch and it is growing on me, BUT I am always surprised at the lack of initial punch a drop of this gives, but I do like it's finish though.maybe it's just me but it does seem to benefit from being left in the glass for a short while...
- O.H.Draw, 23rd Jun '10
Taken with a piece of milk chocolate, this malt will knock your socks off!
- Joepup, 7th May '10
Bad one in my opinion. Choose instead Mortlach or Dailuaine - way better.
- Aaron, 9th Mar '10
Lovely whisky, not at all smokey though, a typical sweet speyside. Great value for money.
- George Stoddart, 22nd Jan '10
One of the most underrated single malts in history. It very nice.
- Bala, 12th Jan '10
I think this whisky is a little overrated...i find it lacks the intial punch a good whisky should have of flavour before it softly warms the inside of you...to me it tastes like orange peel...but the warming sensation is quite nice.
