Karmel, miód, łagodna. Nie drażniąca, oferująca fajny karmelowy posmak. Przyjemna, warto wracać

General description

Decent all round daily dram. Pretty straight forward flavours with a touch of sweetness. Getting a sense of port in the background. Very mild smoke to finish. Good value

General description

Some reviews seemed harsh - I drank this before & always enjoyed it; a fine Tawny colour, {you have to pour it out to find out with such a dark brown bottle}, thin film on the taster. I found it, overall, very pleasant, a "corked", budget blend and most certainly a very good mixer. I would unashamedly serve this to friends for what it is. It is, a very neat 12 yr old blend, not much body, which on ice seemed to pull out a tiny hint of smoke, but I finished my review or tasting, with a little dry ginger ale.🥃 It is, the perfect mixer & even a decoy bottle. 👍

Nose

Spirity & warming - cereal or mild wood, paperish.

Palate

Primarily, husky & musty, a dryness, again the cereal - actually pleasant. Some ice, introduced a hint (7/100) of peat.

Finish

Shortish, dry & harmless, no complex bang 💥, but nice. I'm not a snob, its OK:

Not challenging in any way. A ver nice blend. Some apple and malt on the nose. Johnnie Walker Black just edges it for me when it comes to budget blends.

JWB is lightyears ahead of this blend. There are blends on the bottom shelf for half the price that are better. Not worth time for tasting notes

General description

Sweet nose and oaky taste not much else noted. Pretty drab and has limited appeal. Its best suited as a table whisky and everyday casual sipper when you don't care to spend too much.

Een blender die me enorm verrast heeft. smaakt toch nog erg verfijnt. met iedere slok proef je weer wat anders, doordat het een blend is. al met al een verrassing

total lack of character: both the nose and the taste are almost invisible. light and sweet and fruity but its really watery as if it is even below 40% abv
