Bell's Extra Special / Bot.1970s Blended Scotch Whisky

Marcus Blackwell — Worth it for the nostalgia factor

8/10

I remember my dad drinking Bell's when I was a kid, so finding a 70s bottling was a must-buy. It's smoother and more complex than anything Bell's puts out today — rich caramel, a touch of smoke, and a warm finish. The £100 price tag stings a bit but you're paying for the era as much as the liquid.

Lena Petrova — A proper time capsule

9/10

Got this as a birthday gift and honestly it's stunning for a 1970s blend. The nose is all toffee and dried fruit with a hint of old leather. At 40% it's gentle enough to sip neat after dinner, and every glass feels like a little piece of history.

Luciano Bianchi — Shows what Bell's used to be

8/10

Poured this side by side with a current Bell's Original and it's night and day. The 70s bottling has this lovely waxy texture with baked apple, nutmeg, and a long warm finish. Really makes you wonder what component malts were going into the blend back then. I nurse it neat, one dram at a time.

Camila Ortiz — Blew my expectations away

9/10

I'll admit I was skeptical about paying nearly a hundred quid for a Bell's, but this 70s bottling shut me right up. There's a richness here — dark fruit, butterscotch, a little oak — that just doesn't exist in today's supermarket blends. Shared it with mates neat and everyone wanted to know where I found it.
