Nose: Sulphury smell open opening bottle and pouring, similar to famous grouse and some other cheap blends. Palate: Smoke/Tobacco Ash, Velvet smooth vanilla, Peach. Finish: Oak + ethanol astrigency, as expected for a 3 year old blended whisky. Similar to Ballantines, but toned down slightly on the palate and finish with no interesting salted caramel, toffee note this time. Ok for a supermarket blend, less funky smelling and tasting than FG, but Ballantines still your best bet for a cheap, smoky blend, when on offer at £15.
