Very nice whisky with lots of oiliness and creaminess and a bit of the sea salt coming into play as well.

Nice to see Weatherspoons trying something a little different. I think that means Laphroaig, Glenfiddich, Glenlivet, Glenmorangie,are all available at exceptionally cheap prices, around £1 a single to £2 a double in most of their bars. It may not be a vast range but it's nice to get a malt that's drinkable without paying over £2.50 a single. Their glasses are still big tumblers though and if you ask for some water it comes in what ever is available which sometimes means a pint glass, not very easy to pour a drop of water from!! Sad

Was out last night and they had this on sale in our local Weatherspoons. i really enjoyed it, really nice and smooth, little salty. I also had some Havana Club Rum and a strange sounding beer or two :D

Thanks for the tip, tried a few glasses tonight at the local wetherspoons and was a really great whisky. Had a few friends try it as well and all said it had great flavour and wasn't like any of the blended whisky they had tried.
