Luxurious, robust yet subtle. If you like your Speysides, you will be SO immpressed with this. Take it from me, I've tried countless Spey's and this is a truly masterful blend of 3 of the best. If you don't get how good this is, stick to beer.

Was recommended to me, as a relatively new whisky drinker, by a friend.
From that point forward, it glared at me, every time I walked into my local supermarket; until I finally caved.
I do not regret it for a second.
Much more delicate than I had anticipated. Gentle nose, with a hint of brown sugar; gentle in the mouth (little burn), while maintaining a gentle, and not sickly, sweetness.
Can see myself buying many bottles in the future!!

Bought this at Glasgow airport. A very good whiskey, I intend to buy some for friends and family for Xmas.

I'm a JW Black Label drinker, but got sucked in by the cool bottle and was very pleasantly surprised. Comparable product, maybe a bit rounder. If you like the smokiness of Black Label, definitely try this one.

Got this one yesterday.its nice and smooth,fruity and zesty nose with week malty fruit cake palate.finish is easy,not long,but pleasant.great.whiskey for a night in after work.not a whiskey for real whiskey lover tho.

N: aromatic with sweet citrus fruit and a background hint of anise. P: opens with grain and ethanol, with a honey and mild licorice accompaniment. F: sweetness lingers with an oiliness I would not have expected from something like this but flavours soon drop off (due to the ABV) citrus remains. I normally drink single malts, at cask strength where possible, so this isn't really for me but its not bad at all for a 40% blend and I'd drink it again if someone offered me a glass.

A fine wee dram, opened it on Wednesday and couldn't stop drinking it, now I need to go buy more.

I have drank a few few bottles of this scotch now and am impressed with the flavour change when chilled in the freezer,it takes on a more honeyed taste.A must try for any scotch lover.

It's kind of boring. Not for real whisky drinkers.

This is the best I have tasted for many years. I have been in the liquor industry for 45years and this is one of the best.

- mitek72, 15th Aug '11
im in aus i tried the whiskey for the first time last night i found it to be quite a nice whiskey perhaps a bit too smooth as other people have said then i put some ice in it once this whiskey was chilled it seemed to bring out more flavour so my recommendation for this drop is chilled in the fridge with two ice blocks changes the flavour nicely dont ask me why lols as im not that good at describing it like a true whiskey conoiseur all i know is chilled it is nicer with more flavour

When buying this bottle of scotch whisky I was stepping outside my usually brands.It was a cold night in The Blue Mountains NSW Australia at Leura (Janine?s 50th ) Need a we spot to keep the chill out.Nose. Ripe with a deep sweet oak scent. Taste. Starts with a bite! Smokey caramel with a rich gold colour.Modest price at Aus $50.00. I enjoyed this blended of malt whisky and will be purchasing again for easy consumption.Cheers,Gerald..

sister in law bought it for me for fixing her car and what a suprise for a whiskey I had not heard of, smooth, very smooth with a hint of smokey caramel, a delight .
- Dr Mark Swann, 28th May '11
A bit of floral from the far side of the glass, citrus from the front, hints of toffee. Smooth to the point of being a wee bit disappointing, I like a bit of bite.Oily finish.The supermarket singles are a better bet in this price range. I'll be using the rest of the bottle for experimentation with blending.
- Ruaridh, 1st May '11
My local liquor store just got this in so I grabbed a bottle and must say that it is a great scotch for the price, it reminds me of JW green, and I love how smooth it is with a caramel after taste.
