Strong coal and leather bite

Alfie,
Not as smoky as I thought it would be, but still an enjoyable whisky. The smell was fruity and sweet, but then tasted it and felt a bit more caramel on the palate and also toffee. Little bit of a bitter taste at the end, but still enjoyed this!

Smoky and smooth

Aaron,
Very easy drinking spirit. Not overly smoked and a subtle sweetness that balances nicely with the slight bitterness.
 
Dan
Dan,
Excellent at this price. Works very well at room temperature in glas with nothing. I will buy another shortly. Cheers.
 
Andrew
Andrew,
Absolute beaut of a blended. Not usually a fan of blended because I'm one of those single malt only guys. But this is good whiskers. And cheap as hell. Get it.

Randy,
Very interesting aftertaste, Scotch is not normally in my wheelhouse but was a good experience
 
John
John,
Not a fan. Too much “bonfire” taste for my liking
 
Christine
Christine,
Pleasantly sweet aroma - mix of vanilla and caramel, touch of smoke. Nice smoke in the flavor as well, though it doesn't compare in intensity to the smoke in a typical Islay single malt. Still very enjoyable - basically a sweet, subdued Islay where the flavor combination works well.

Very subdued smoke. Bland vanilla and clarified butter with a sprinkle of pepper at the end. Good, but too subdued to be great.
 
William
William,
What can I compare this to hmmmm, let's say a less intense version of talisker 10yr which for those that haven't tried that tastes of that smell of smoke while not the most appetising sounding drink I will say it's cheap and some people like that sort of thing. If you can't tell already from this lacklustre review I can't think of anything to say, you know what the drink is meh there you go meh.
 
Steven
Steven,
I generally prefer my whisky smoky, peaty, briny, some true grit on it. As with all things with a description in the title, this is not as smoky as it would like to be.
 
John
John,
nice taste, but a little too smokey for me

Jon,
Smooth criminal. I'm not a scotch fan due to peat, but this changed my mind
