My mum bought be the Whittard advent calender this year, and this was the tea for the 1st December. (I’m a day behind already!)
It smells really good. Sweeter and creamier than I’d expect given it’s name, but there are definite hints of whisky about it in a peaty, smoky kind of way. I added a splash of milk, because the Whittard base isn’t one I’m super keen on ordinarily. It was probably the right decision; it’s not subtle, so the flavouring wasn’t overpowered in the least.
I’m struggling with whisky a little in flavour terms. There’s maybe the very slightest hint, but I mostly get chocolate. Really nice, milky, creamy, chocolatey-chocolate, but chocolate all the same. If this one was called whisky chocolate, I’d be there, because that’s what it is.
It’s pretty delicious, though. I’d buy it because it tastes nice (but not if I were looking for whisky…) If I were looking for Whisky, though, honestly, I’d probably just buy whisky!
