Price: good and cheap! not much hurt in the pocket with this one! 5/6
Availability: Very! I literally walked to the shop to get this, I don't think I've ever seen it in a pub though 5/6
Label/ Packaging: disappointing! What happened to the famous iconic green bottle! The label doesn't tell me too much and it looks a lot less attractive in a clear bottle. It does have a link to a safe drinking campaign though which is good. However when I went to the shop having done my research it took me a while to find it because of the bottle change - clear glass must be less expensive then green: 2/6
Marketing lovely B.S. story about some rich fellow throwing a party to get the perfect blend hmmm, This whiskey makes an appearance in band of brothers too! here's a link for the clip:

Appearance, kind of orange gold - more yellow in the glass, likely has colorant added but maybe not too much: 3/6
Nose, cheap! Not the nicest nose but I wouldn't go so far as to say its unpleasant, Caramel or butter scotch, a hint of something citrus, dried fruits and or fruitcake, ethanol - grain spirit: 13/20
Taste on entry
Sweet, slight minty flavor, nothing fantastic: 11/20
Mouthfeel not bad, not too thin, 7/10
Development: some pepper, a little smoke, something a little off not sure what it is - maybe it's cheap whisky!
13/20
Sometimes you get what you pay for and realistically this whisky has met my expectations and has served me nicely for throwing in with ice for a little tasty refreshment from time to time. I have tasted several better cheap scotch blends and I don't think I'll be buying this one again.
Total score 63/100
