Review this whisky

review by anonymous

Color: Caramel
Nose: Solid wooden block smell with peatiness.
Body: Smooth at first, then thickens.
Palate: Orange, peat, wood.
Finish: The pleasurable first taste is spoilt a bit by aftertaste which is strong and not mellow.

Probably the pick of the common blended regulars on shelves (Johnny Walker, Chivas etc). Good value for money, but not immensely pleasurable straight. Best with a bit of water or on the rocks.

Color: exquisite shiny gold.
Nose: sweet, oaky, smell of sea breeze.
Body: what a smooth operator!
Palate: oaky sweet, honey, ever-so-softly briney hint, complex yet so perfectly balanced.
Finish: long, smooth, and slightly velvety finish, with a gentle warmth - like being caressed in lover's bossom!

Quite simply the best and value-for-money 12yo blended scotch whisky you'll ever get in a duty-free shop. Beats the rest in the class hands down. Rules like Man Utd! I will not buy any other 12yo blended whiskies for life!
