Whisky of the Week No.1. Bells.

Bells Whisky - I know I'm a fan of single malt whisky but occasionally the pocket doesn't stretch that far and a compromise has to be reached to enable regular whisky consumption. In this case a Christmas gift which had lain in the back of the cupboard awaiting a desperate moment. Well the moment has arrived and, to be honest, it never ceases to amaze me how good this whisky blend is. OK, it's not a fine single malt, but as far as an everyday drink is concerned I have to rate it as one of the best. A pleasant mixture with a hint of brandy, a later taste of peat and finally just enough fire to leave a warm glow without making you cough. Highly recommended. 6/10 on the Sloshometer.
