Lidl’s whisky, an 8-year-old blend, is produced by Whyte & Mackay under Richard Paterson. Lately, the blend has regularly brought back home medals in blind tasting competitions, standing its ground against similar whiskies in its class. Lidl offers a 3-year-old version as well.
NOSE:
Fruits, mostly banana and orange, and honey.
PALATE:
Fruits and honey, a touch of vanilla and a tiny bit of burnt wood.
FINISH:
Woody dryness, syrup and orange.
It is my opinion that this is a great whisky for its price but definitely not the “best whisky in the world”, as it was rumoured to have been voted back in 2019. Read more here:
