330ml bottle from Tesco - Clear orange body with a thin white head. Nose has malty caramel, notes of vanilla and a bit of smokiness from the whisky. A bit on the sweet side, and a bit thinner than the I&G stuff. Okay, but nothing special.

Clear 330ml bottle from a local B&M Bargains store: BBD 31 Mar 15 poured into a ’Palm’ badged tulip glass at home on 27 Feb 15. Clear chestnut body with a head that left before it arrived. Sweet maltiness and a whisky feel to the aroma with caramel, toffee and treacle coming through in the taste. Add a hint of vanilla late on and my sweet tooth was very happy.
