Members' comments "No ageing potential", "Soothing. Probably as good for sore backs as sore palates", "Rough throughout. Too woody and unbalanced", "Has improved considerably over the 8 year old", "Unpleasant, watery and sweet", "Too much oil for a whisky of this age. Light on the front but oily alcohol on ther back of the throat", "I suppose useful to show what malt whiskies are not loke. A Clayton's whisky", "Pleasant enough. Not at all memorable which is a pity because I like the 8 year old", "Both the whisky and its container lack taste", "Not improved much on the 8 year old. Pleasant enough for a Sunday afternoon".
