Review

While the flavours are all relatively muted they are perfectly balanced. We found it pleasant to drink and enjoyed it alongside a range of foods. It is not a complex dram but it delivers on the promise of a smooth, sweet and fruity blend with a subtle smokey influence. Given the price point, this is a great option for those looking for an affordable blended whisky that can be enjoyed on a variety of occasions. It was even named Best Scotch Blended at the World Whiskies Awards back in 2017.
