Nice whisky and good price

Might have to stock up on these, :smile:

Another non age statement whisky. People need to stop buying these or this worrying trend will become the norm....

​NAS whiskies aren't a problem really - some distilleries don't want you to focus on the age, but rather the quality. For example Laphroaig Quarter Cask doesn't need an age statement as the cask is tiny compared to the butts or hogshead casks, resulting in more wood exposure on the liquid, making it mature quicker. The focus is on the quality, not the age.

This particular whisky isn't nice though.

Whyte n Mackay, Bells and a few other spirits are also at £15. Good for May bank holiday !!!

I'd rather spend a bit more and get something drinkable like lovely Highland Park 12 for £23 at Tesco

​Paying £15 for something undrinkable doesn't exactly qualify as a hot deal either

Undrinkable you saying ?...

...and has better reviews than your lovely £23 Highland Park 12

masterofmalt is a better barometer.

Glen Moray 3/5 from 90 reviews as opposed to only 20 reviews on TWE.

Highland Park 4/5.

Glen Moray and Highland park are entirely different in tasting notes. Price wise too. At £15 and £23 they are both a great bargain. I recommend both to your collection

Hi, yes, my first comment indeed. There are better blends out there for this price, this is not a great single. Whisky is obviously a very personal thing though, so I hope you enjoy it. :smiley:

The problem is that the makers are putting out vast numbers of NAS, and pulling the 10 year olds from the shelves, but not changing the price. There are less and less decent affordable 10-15 year olds, and they are trying to sell us these 'special selection reserve distillers edition etc' that are generally too young and unrefined to cash in. The biggest issue I have is that you don't know the age. Why not? Just be honest and let me make my choice? Please look into the Compass Box Whisky campaign for transparency in the industry. All we want is to know what's in the bottle! :smiley:

​That's perfectly reasonable and some are shocking - for example the Fettercairn Fasque. It's made to look massively sherry influenced and quite old by its rich colour, yet it's stuffed with caramel (the colouring) to make it look darker and more appealing. Talking to a whisky connoisseur I have been informed that Whyte & Mackay are known for these nasty tricks. So my point is people should be careful but NAS isn't the problem, shifty companies is.

I moved to Speyside for the whisky!!! Glen Moray not a particular highlight but hard to overlook at this price. Personally I would go for a Aberlour 10yr for a few extra quid, but as somebody already mentioned everyone's taste is different.
