  Haitch 4 April

  I love it and it is priced just right. Very smooth and easy to detect the claimed vanilla palate and slightly dry hazelnut finish. Like it best with no more than a splash of water.

  Simple and effective whisky that suits everyone, and insults none. For beginners: Great piece to start discovering single malts. For journeymen: Always keep one in your closet. Good whisky to have in case you want something light and fresh that won't burn a hole in your pocket.

  I like this very much and at the price it's great value. I have read all the reviews and there are as many opinions as there are whiskies. Slangevar

  Rate 4 stars. Straight from the bottle for sipping whisky. I'm a beginner and I'm not put off for life as a previous writer noted. I find the whisky to be very mellow and smooth.

  Heavy aftertaste makes me feel drinking the cheapest alcohol.

  Great value stuff. Perfect daytime whisky. Try with coffee and slice of apple tart. I like this a lot.

  Light, 'moreish' yet quite subtly enticing. Honey and lemon tangs. Very good value. Lacks the depth of a Glenlivet or the more demanding Laphroaig, but still satisfies. Ideal after a fine meal

  Not the greatest of them all, but a very simple, drinkable whisky. Fresh and light aftertaste and an attractive price make it a nice everyday drink. Better than most blended whiskeys at the same price point

  Absolute value. For a light, very "easy" single malt you won't find better at this price point. Does lack some character, but that's clearly not what they were aiming at. It's rare at this price point to say too good for mixing, but this is. Definitely better (I know very subjective) than much more expensive blends.

  Still better than almost any blended whisky.

  Chris 31 March 2017

  Color: light golden Nose: Peach, orange, oak, pear, fruity, floral, light, liquorice, vanilla Palate: Light, bitter, smooth, not intense, popcorn, viscous, basket of fruits, peaches Finish: Bitter, warm, long and intense Summary: A really light, fruity and floral experience, really great for making mixers where the whisky flavor is predominant like an old fashioned as the fruit flavors pop out. Tasty fruit flavors, sweet orange and fruits it does not seem like much at first but the slightly bitter taste along with a warm finish is unexpectedly refreshing. This would be a go-to for casual and fun whisky mixing experience because of its price.

  MC, Essex 21 December 2016

  Simple, smooth, light, and apples and pears (or is that me?). Not long by any stretch...If you like peat or fire in your single malt, then this will not be to your taste. Suggested for newcomers, and a reasonable "starter for ten". I do not own a yacht (old cars I'm afraid...) but understand the comment precisely. More than just for adding coke (that'll be a blend of some sort then), drop of water perhaps...

  Rob, Derby 15 December 2016

  Gave this a go after trying the 10Yr Old and being very impressed. I was pleasantly surprised at how drinkable this was, you can tell they are stable-mates and for the price you can't beat it.

  Glenn 14 December 2016

  So much rubbish spoken about products. Golf balls, wine...blah. We all have different tastes. I picked up a litre of Glen Grant for 16€. Loved the smell and was delighted with the taste. My whisky of choice is a Macallen 12 but this is a very acceptable nightcap. 4 stars.

  Very disappointing, I loved the 5yr old, dunno what happens to that. Jameson is my go to whisky now. Glenn grant 10yr old has reached roughly the same price as Laphroaig, so I opt for that. Pity

  Let's keep this simple, great smell, light taste that leaves you wanting more but never delivers. If you can get it on discount then try it. If not, pick up a bottle of the Glenlivet.

  Proper Whisky drinker 24 March 2016

  I fully agree with Mr Serious,this,in my opinion is an ill advised step for purely commercial reasons towards the degredation of single malts by a distiller who should know better,I would go as far as speculating that this was tantamount to the offloading of a large amount of surplus barely aged stock in the guise of a so called light easy drinking malt for beginners.If I was a simple beginner,I would be put off for life.

  A decent single malt, somewhat sharper than I expected, but very enjoyable nonetheless. Great for the price.
