I can’t believe this one wasn’t already listed here, especially since I have received it in two separate swaps from different people.

I didn’t expect to like it, mostly because I gave some of the bags to a friend who didn’t seem wild about it. I have to admit it is better than I thought it would be, but I am not a whisky drinker so perhaps I am easier to please. The tea base is light, barely astringent, and not really anything to write home about. The whisky aroma is sweet and it almost smells as if a piece of candy was melted in the cup of hot tea. Is real whisky sweet like that? The whisky aspect seems to be all in the aroma rather than the taste, because I don’t feel like I am tasting much other than tea. I am drinking this without additions but I can see that some might really enjoy it with sugar and/or milk. I wouldn’t go out and buy this, but if it was the only thing available in a sandwich shop, I would drink it.

This was really nice! It tastes mostly like black tea, but there’s something complex and interesting in there. I’d drink this again! Thanks for sharing tea-and-cats!

On the whole, I don’t think this one tastes all that much different from the Scottish Breakfast blend I tried a week or so back, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they shared the same base. It’s sweet and malty, which is never a bad thing, and those flavours work well with the peaty richness of the “whisky”. I can just about tell that this one’s supposed to be flavoured, but it’s very much a whisper in the background rather than a shout. There’s a whisky ghost loitering around, as if I’d used my mug for it beforehand and not rinsed, but it’s not much more than that. Still, a pleasing black tea.

I should have had this and the Heather tea side by side, because I am not detecting much difference between the two. It’s less bitter, and that’s about all I can say for it. It’s good enough to keep around for those days when I have an aneurysm and don’t want to bother with loose leaf, even if I can’t imagine such a scenario ever occurring.

The whiskey flavoring is almost non-existent. I can smell it a bit in the sweetness of the brew, and maybe the aftertaste, but that is all.

Sorry, LP, for inflicting these on you!

I´m surprised to seee that this tea already not listed here. I find it by my last visit in Edinburgh and i love it. The tea is light and has a balmy whisky aroma.

Think I like the idea of this tea more than the flavour. The aroma is light, which I think the tea was but I was expecting a fuller whiskey taste…good excuse for a wee dram after your tea.

This is a weird tea.. It’s not bad, but it doesn’t taste like tea to me. You get a hint of whiskey when you first sip it and luckily there isn’t a whiskey after taste. I would highly recommend it to all the tea lovers that are recovered alcoholics!
