@jonwilkinson7309 it didn’t really have much depth to it. It’s not a terrible whiskey, but it’s equally not very memorable. I wouldn’t buy a bottle, but I also wouldn’t be disappointed if someone gave me a dram. I really like sweet, peaty whiskies generally, but I’d say this is a pretty average whiskey overall.
I'm curious about this one. The idea of a peated Teeling is interesting, and the tasting notes sound nice. Also, I love the bottle. But you rated this below a couple of the others, including the Bally Morgan, which you said you wouldn't rush to buy. What held the Blackpitts back?
