We will be in touch
£18 odd in Morrisons at the mo.
Worth a punt for a relative beginner?
Have tried a few of the peaty island malts and found them enjoyable - got to be worth a punt at this price?
I was given a bottle of this as a gift a few years back, pleasantly surprised considering it's a budget bottle.
Nice and light, easy drinking. Definitely worth £18
Bought, thanks!
quite light - nothing objectionable. could get a nice Aberlour for that, possibly, a bit more meaty?
we're lucky to have a very nice garage that sells whisky for really quite low prices; £24 for full sherry Macallan e.g. difficult not to see the drink/drive irony there..
minging ... tastes like the water that has been used to put out a tyre fire... you may just have wasted £18! 😆
If after 1 taste you don't like it, sell it to me for a fiver.
Worth a punt at that price but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it... fully concur with peterfile and kcal's comments.
I'll occasionally pick up a bottle as it's drinkable. Fairly bland but not too bad and it's blends ok with better stuff. A couple of drops of cask strength Ardbeg really improves a glass. If you want cheaper Islay whisky then Sainsbury's own brand one is Bowmore and the Tesco one I've had tasted like Caol Ila though I believe they do chance suppliers.
Sainsbury's own brand one is Bowmore
Cobblers - not a Sainsbury's brand! My favourite.
Bought some tonight just to see...
It looks like wee, and the taste is OK, but not as nice as others.
Monkey Shoulder, Bruichladdich, Talisker all nicer.
