a whisky, mmmmm !

TEACHERS HIGHLAND CREAM


... BLENDED
... lucky to have Ardmore as the signature malt,
and when the 'branding' is eased off ......
........ a very decent dram.

86/100

SCOTTISH LEADER


... BLENDED
... this one has built quite a reputation for itself over the last few years, coming from nowhere to everywhere and proving a real challenge for the established Brands,
......... to taste it is to see why.
Older versions are excellent.

82-88/100

the first whisky to be named after a repetitive strain injury.
...contains Kininvie Malt.

87/100

a real beefy whisky.
