ASDA Extra Special Tasgall Whisky 25 Year Old - Blended Scotch
So, the mighty ASDA have turned their considerable resources to the art of whisky production, with the launch of their Extra Special Tasgall range of whiskies. £50 for a 25 year (even if it is a blend) is pretty impressive, and based on the what I tried with a nuked palette at ASDA’s press tasting a few months back, it’s rather good. They also offer a 30 for £60 which I would quite like to get my hands on and compare this one with.
As I understand it the word ’Tasgall’ has its origins in Norse mythology, meaning "cauldron of the gods” - the T on the logo looks quite similar to an inverted Thor’s Hammer. An excellent motif for a dram, for sure - but will the flavour match up? I’ll let you know when I try it properly :v
