Good for mixing in cocktails or drinking with cola, but not stellar drunk alone. A combination of the taste of alcohol with a eatery aftertaste. recommend only in extreme emergencies.
Nose
Aromatic, sweet smell.
Palate
Alcoholic
Finish
Watery

Sharp alcohol taste to go along with an otherwise thinness and lack of substance. Have had better cheap blends and other cheap whiskeys.

As first type so tasty
Snoof says on August 20, 2020
General description
A good all-rounder and a fairly gentle introduction to scotch.
Nose
Vanilla sweetness and dried fruit. All pretty standard for scotch.
Palate
Slightly heavy touch on spices, but with a good deal of sweetness and caramel. There's maybe barley in there in the taste.
Finish
Sweetness sustained. Goes gentler on the finish after a spike of spice on the palate early.

General description
Buena relación calidad precio. Un Blended para mezcla, también con hielo.
Nose
Especias de roble dan a esta bebida su aroma primario. las notas más ligeras de la miel siguen y añaden un toque de dulzura.
Palate
Tiene una creativa mezcla de sabores, que van desde el chocolate a frutos rojos. Otros sabores incluyen miel, vainilla, especias y roble.
Finish
Deja un regusto dulce en la boca y una ligera quemadura en la parte posterior de la garganta.

Heavy on grain, with lots of vanilla and a dash of fruit. The finish is the least part of this blend, but overall it's very decent for the price.

Light mix flavor of chocolate and vanilla, hives and surprisingly nice flavor, not the best, but enjoyable whisky

Mild soft blend. Good mixing.
santisantos says on December 19, 2018
General description
Otro básico como el red label, pero en este caso un blended mejor seleccionado a mi parecer. en definitiva un whisky de cabecera sin complejos.
Nose
genérico, quizás las notas afrutadas algo se dejan entrever tras un ejercicio de concentración, pero en nariz es determinantemente alcohólico
Palate
en estado puro en boca este blended es agradable, fino, con notas acarameladas quizás con un deje a canela, pero es definitiva te llena la boca y esta te pide un espacio entre trago y trago, no se.
Con agua evidentemente ganan las notas afrutadas, aquí el caramelo se me hace presente igual que la Canela y dejamos atrás el quemazón inicial
Finish
el retrogusto es corto, intenso con un sabor a ciruela, o pasas, el típico sabor a fruta deshidratada. lo que pierde en el primer impacto en boca lo gana en el retrogusto, aquí es un claro vencedor al redlabel

Als Geschenk erhalten passt mir die Flasche weder in die Sammlung noch auf die Zunge.
Als Blindverkostung hätte ich eventuell etwas objektiver gewettet und mit einiges an Phantasie vielleicht etwas blumiges und etwas Karamell gefunden.
Recht dünn und Jung mit leichter alkoholischer Schärfe.
Ich bin auch Freund eines Korkens, tut mir leid.
(könnte man auch manchen Japanern Nähe legen;-))

fresh bread stands out at first but makes place for honey a slight, but obviously present peat, that is not on the nose, green apple and in the finish brine, and more bread. as it sits vanilla and caramel appear. balanced, but not at all interesting, smoothest scotch I've ever tasted that has obvious peat

Grabovvszky says on December 27, 2017
General description
Mellow is the best decription of this whisky: everything is very gentle. A faint sweet nose and creamy nuttiness on the palate. Very smooth and sweet, with plenty of toffee and vanilla, and maybe just a hint of cinnamon. This flows down nicely and doesn't stick around. Not complex at all but it's still a lovely dram for a chilled evening.
Nose
Sweet, nutty, creamy.
Palate
Vanilla, honey, cream, hint of cinnamon.
Finish
Just a little sweetness.
