Pros and Cons

The Glasgow 1770 The Original is no age statement, and it certainly feels like a young whisky (for me, at least), but it has enough flavour and it is gentle enough on the palate to be a decent whisky to sip on.

It's nice with the addition of an ice cube or two and it has been succesful in most cocktails I've tried so far with it.

In Conclusion

Priced at around £46 on most UK websites, it's pretty much what it says on the bottle - fresh and fruity, so if that's what you're looking for in a whisky, by all means, see for yourself.
