Whisky Forum - Te Bheag - Old vs. New Bottlings

I know there are those that have been drinking Te Bheag for a long time. I was able to obtain an old bottle of this from when it still had the twist cap, and the old label. I was wondering how it compares to the recent versions?

I have never compared an old bottle side by side with a new bottle, to be honest I have only had a bottle around once every year or 2 but cant say I have found a difference. Always a decent rich blend.

Believe it or not, this is one I have not tried. Noticed it on the shelf at the LCBO stores here in Ontario, Canada many times but never thought to pick up this blend. Might have to give it a try sometime. Interesting that it is pronounced "chey vek" in English.
Very Happy

Update: I picked up a bottle myself this afternoon. Haven't opened it yet. I understand much of the production of this one historically went to France and Nova Scotia, Canada. Interesting!!! Probably about 1,000 bottles now available in Ontario where I live.
