Reviewed June 10, 2020 (edited February 16, 2024)Wow, this is some real swill. It doesn't taste actively bad, but all of the notes are a bit on the bad side and the flavor is just so weak that it's embarrassing. There are some scotch notes of malt, smoke, sweet whatever, and... that's about it. There are hints of tartness and so on, but this is really as generic as Scotch gets. There is nothing to recommend this, although the flavors do very a bit. This is frankly quite difficult to swallow. There are flowers and hints of honey and so on, but it's a mess of unpalatable flavors. This needs a lot more age to start. That might not be enough to save it though. It smells a bit sour but also a bit like cocoa. There's mainly a lot of soggy tobacco and wood though. The palate is bitter with cocoa and tobacco notes mixed with sea spray, but it's kind of like wet luggage. There's a little bit of sweetness, but it just kind of tastes like a little bit of grog was spritzed in. It's not the worst thing ever, but it's pretty bad. The harshness is a bit more than expected, but it isn't unreasonable. A bigger sip delivers a richer and more robust flavor, but everything just kind of blends together. It has some nice grain and malt elements, showcasing the raw elements of the blend reasonably nicely. There's also a bit of fruitiness that's a bit floral with hints of apricot and definitely some vanilla. It would be pretty drinkable if it weren't inundated with sulfur. Some alcohol does show through. As an acquired tastes and under the right circumstances, it is sort of drinkable (essentially, if you're used to the sulfur and have already filled your palate a bit). Sulfur is without a doubt the preeminent flavor here. It's disgusting. The malt isn't overwhelming like that of Westward, though it's also a lighter whiskey. And it has a lot of sulfur. Like, an ungodly amount. Who knew that this was possible. This has less in the way of sharp flavor than Westward does, though it also is less robust with a more subdued mouthfeel. Still, the flavor isn't weak and those fruity, floral notes save it from being a total loss. The sulfur reminds me of San Matias Legado Blanco, but more extreme with some fruitiness to balance it out a little.6.43 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed May 12, 2020Not bad, low priced. I wouldn’t break it out for special occasions but good for summer nights on the porch hanging out with neighbors. -

Reviewed February 4, 2020This isn't bad at all, I'm not a pro Scotch taster. I like Jonny walker black , Glenlivet 12, McCallan 12 . I got a 1.75 of this for 16$ I'm proud as punch with myself, I will keep this on hand for a drinker from now on. Keep the other for special occasions.16.0 USD per BottleCVS -

Reviewed December 29, 2019 (edited February 4, 2020)Clan MacGregor is greenish-golden with standard alcohol legs. The aroma is of sweet grain whisky, with some underlying peat. The flavor is of bread dough, with a grain bite and a kiss of peat. No smoke. Mouthfeel is light to medium, and Clan MacGregor finishes moderately long. For a value-priced blend, it's a winner. RJT11.0 USD per Bottle
