Queen Margot 3yo Blended Scotch (Lidl) - Whisky Review 52

its a cheap scotch. Does the job XD

If you watch Ralphy's review for QM - it scores higher than Blue Label :lol: up to me - this is the worst whisky I've ever tried

gets you drunk, all that matters

The 'finish' worked a treat for me, I slept like a log.

5 years old version used to be considerably better for very little extra money, but seems like that one was replaced with Glen Orchy 5yo. At least around here.

I really disliked this one! Maybe its just me! If you like this, cheers! THATS THE POINT!

Because i really disliked it, i made an amareto sour of this and go well....cheers ppl !

In my country Greece Lidl sells this for 12.5 euro....but i can find Passport Scoth around 13.5 and is WAY BETTER

There are actualy more flavours here, if you would really give this some time and honest analysis- you get sweet vanilla, barley sugar, sultanas, lemon, really there's not much of the harsh alcohol smell. On the taste, barley sugar, lemon, a bit of bitterness. My mark would definitely be chose to 80, compared with RLJW, Ballantines or Teachers, this is fairly above those bottlings.

This stuff is pish. The 8 year old is 1000% better, and for about £2.00 more.

Harsh whiskey for people who live harsher lives :D.For some this is nearly as good as they can afford.

I agree with Ralfy that this is way better quality than many £20 range whiskeys like Famous Grouse or Bells, but at almost half the price. You said you weren't going to be prejudiced but this whole review is dripping in prejudice that I think blinded you to the decent quality of the product.

But you have a new sub BTW even if I don't necessarily agree on this one 😆 👍

I got a bottle the other day and honestly I like it, yeah it's not great but at less than 11 quid it's not gonna be, I loved my ardbeg arrrrrrbeg but would I have said it was 14 times better than this, no way, for the money I'm impressed, it's definitely a keeper for giving to my guests, ive wasted far too much quality stuff to non whisky drinkers lol but it definitely has its place
Have you tried the 8 or the newer 41% smoky one I'm interested to see what those are like 👍

Despite watching this video and your comments I still went out and bought this whisky, mainly because of favourable reviews from the legendary Ralfy and one or two others (albeit these reviews were a couple of years old). I even went for the 1-litre version at £4 extra cost!

After smelling and tasting it, I really can't disagree with anything that you said about it! Having said that though, the whisky is not a total dead loss.

It was perfectly reasonable in a Rusty Nail (two, even three parts to one part Drambuie, with the liqueur thankfully overpowering the whisky). Also, despite the mild flavour it was just about discernable as a whisky in a Scotch & Coke.

I even tried the Ralfy trick of adding a couple of drops of single malt (Laphroaig in this case), and even some rum. In each case these modifications made it much more drinkable!

Wow, thats not good. I take it if that was the only whisky available u wouldnt bother, lets hope the other one is at paletable.

Johnnie Walker, I mean...

Considering the usage of the rest of the bottle : use it maybe for your cooking. Once I got as a present a Johnny walker and all my meat sauces for the rest of the month were excellent! Many thanks for the videos
