About this bottle
The Woodsman is a 40% ABV blended Scotch whisky launched in 2017 by Whyte & Mackay, designed primarily for mixing. It is matured in a mix of freshly built oak casks and double-scorched bourbon barrels, resulting in a smooth, sweet flavour profile with vanilla, woodsmoke, and a slight fruity, spicy kick. It is frequently praised as a versatile, affordable choice for cocktails, such as with ginger beer or in an old fashioned.
