Advantages: Cheap, smooth and easy to drink.

Disadvantages: Not the best out there

I first tasted this whiskey round at a colleagues house who introduced it to me as being a 'cheapy' Not expecting much I gave it a try and have to say I was very impressed.

Since then I have bought a bottle or two of my own for around £12-£13 at my local Co-op store and have continued to be very pleased with it. The whisky is packaged into a triangular bottle which makes it stand out from the crowds on the shelf and certainly gives it a distinctive look in your cupboard at home too.

The whiskey itself is a mid brown colour with quite a strong aroma, which for someone with a weak sense of smell is particularly important. Initially the whiskey burns slightly in your mouth, as I find most do, but once allowed to settle has a very strong and smooth taste that is very enjoyable indeed and slips down your throat easily.

It may not be as smooth as a bottle of Macallan, or have the peaty taste of a bottle of Laphroig, but it also doesn't carry the price tag that goes with them either which if you just want a whiskey for casual drinking is very important and certainly helps improve the experience as a whole.

Summary: Certainly very good for a cheaper whiskey.
