Bottle from Morrisons Supermarket, Blackburn. Brown and looks like cola, as well as tasting like an alcoholic version of it, with a sweet carbonated feel to further compliment the imitation styling.

Box @ Cromwell's Tap House Sausage & Cider Fest. Misty gold pour. Light woody whisky aroma, gently sweet. Quite sharp on initial sip, mild woodiness, soft whisky influence.. not quite as crowd pleasing as standard Lilley's, a touch harsh.. expected sweeter whiskey.. not bad overall.
