This whisky, from Wick, in the North of Scot­land is the best sell­ing malt. Awarded the ‘Bang for Your Buck’ award by Kevin Ersk­ine (thescotchblog.com) who said “Rich but clean — and nicely bal­anced. A real cracker. Should be in every whisky cabinet”.

A very pop­u­lar high­land dram, with a big sherry pres­ence along­side sweet cit­rus fruit notes and a faintly detectable whiff of brine.
