I came upon a relatively new and quite tasty blend recently... Whyte & Mackay 'The Thirteen'. This one starts out in a decidedly honeyed vein (not surprising given the extra year of 'marrying' of the single malts in Sherry wood), then shifts to crisp grains before ending with a flourish of oak. I really like the manner in which the whisky changes from entry through finish, and the fact that the flavour does stick around for a good long time. Amazingly, that initial sweetness eventually creeps back into the proceedings. All told, a very solid performance in its price bracket (roughly comparable to JW Black Label).
