Robert Burns Blended Whisky 40% 700ml

For a blended Scotch, this is a seriously impressive drop.
Right from the first pour, it punches well above its weight. The nose opens with gentle sweetness, soft caramel and light toffee, followed by warm malt and a subtle woody depth that hints at polished mahogany rather than sharp oak.
On the palate, it’s smooth, rounded, and far richer than you’d expect at this price point. Sweet caramel and honeyed malt lead the way, backed by a solid body that brings in earthy tones, soft spice, and that unmistakable Scottish malt character. There’s a pleasant dryness through the mid-palate that keeps it balanced, with light woody notes grounding the sweetness nicely.

The finish is clean and warming, with lingering malt, a touch of earthiness, and just enough oak to remind you this isn’t trying to be flashy; it’s just well made.
