Walker’s Highland Whiskey Cake – 14.1 oz Fruit Cake Infused with Glenfiddich Single-Malt Scotch Whisky - Luxury Holiday Treat and Dessert from Scotland

This pudding is so delicious! We made a note on our calender to buy more this fall as Christmas approaches.It is our new special holiday dessert

Our family Xmas recipes were mainly from England so plum pudding was always included. I just didn't have time to steam one as I used to this year so bought this instead. It's small compared to the huge pudding I've always made but the taste is excellent and I'm glad I bought it. I'm not much for adding brandy, rum, etc. to either the pudding or to the sauce as so many are so I'll whip up a batch of Creme Anglaise for this beauty and serve it that way. The ingredients are high quality & it's made beautifully. I may have to order another one at this rate. Anyway, as a long time Xmas steamed pudding maker, I can vouch for the good texture and flavor of this pudding and would recommend it. Now....time to make that rich sauce and have a slice. :)

Walkers Strathspey Rich Fruit Cake — truly the Dowager Countess of desserts. One does not merely nibble this cake, one experiences it, preferably with a sherry in one hand and disdain for lesser puddings in the other. The marzipan topping is as smooth as a Highland lullaby, and the cake itself? Positively brimming with juicy vine fruits and a hint of scandal.Now, I must confess (clutching pearls theatrically) — it was so divine, so utterly scrumptious, I marched straight back and ordered another one… or perhaps several. One cannot, after all, risk a fruitcake famine during times of civilised tea-taking. And might I add, it arrived beautifully boxed, as if it were a Christmas truce offering from the Scottish highlands themselves.Five stars, a standing ovation, and a small curtsy from me. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a slice awaiting its destiny beside a proper cuppa.

I bought these as a treat for myself, and walkers is always fantastically high quality. the essence of Glenfiddich in it was very tasteful as someone who does not like alcohol, and the crust was fantastic. the mince had a rich spice blend that was not too sweet and not overpowering, the only complaint that I had was due to the traditional nature of the mince there appear to be some occasional tiny pieces of grape seeds inside, causing hard crunchiness that is 100% tolerable but was not something I expected upon biting into the pie. I will definitely be ordering these again

Not bad but you better like the taste of gingerbread and mince together. I do like the taste but other people in the house felt the taste was overwhelming-All the more for me.I wasn’t crazy about the way the crust tasted but the filling was good. I was curious how they tasted and gave them a try but wouldn’t purchase them again.

I was very glad that I found these available to order by mail. Usually they only have them at the local stores around Christmas. They're just as delicious and were very fresh. The problem I have is that I eat them too fast! I should just order more boxes, but then I'd have the issue of eating them all too soon as well. : )They're the perfect blend of spices and raisins. The crust is very buttery tasting and crumbly but not too dry. Having these available as mini pies at least makes them last a little bit longer. If I got the larger versions, I'd probably eat all of those in one sitting.

I love the Walkers shortbread and was excited to try these mincemeat meat pies (BTW there is NO meat in them they have a spiced fruit mix filling, I adding that as my mom was initially shocked when I told her I was going to try them as I am a vegetarian, haha). A couple of the pies in my box had small cracks in the top pastry but I did not take off any stars as know these are not made in the US and I am now totally in love with how they taste, but it would be good if they could come up with some non-plastic protection for them.But the the taste, oh wow, I had intended to heat up one mincemeat pie for dessert as a special treat but opened up the tray and they smelled so amazing I had to try one and then another:) Next time I will heat one first and to try and make sure I do that I stored the uneaten ones in the freezer!

I've always wanted to try a Fruit Pudding so I spent the $21.99 and ordered it on December 31st. Received it January 4 and was excited to taste it and enjoy this specialty as outlined in the description: "Luxury Christmas pudding: Indulge in a signature take on a holiday classic with Walker’s flavorful plum pudding, thoroughly steamed for that rich moist Christmas pudding taste we all love". I was expecting a sweet Christmas tradition. Upon opening the package, I found a very thick undiscernible very dark conglomeration of something in the shape of a small somewhat flattened dome with no scent of dessert. It was tough to cut into and really didn’t have much of an aroma of anything representing a holiday. Now, mind you I’m not Scottish nor an expert on Fruit Pudding, but this was a new experience. I cut a small sliver of this dessert and sat down to enjoy it. Much to my surprise, it was not at all pleasant. It was tasteless, a little bitter with no visible fruits or a pleasantly sweet dessert. In short, it was thick, tasteless and not palatable at all. I gave it another try the next night and, nope, the same thing. Bottom line is that my garbage disposal enjoyed it more than I did. Since this was an eatable purchase I didn’t think it was returnable. I later found out that in the purchase information indicated that it was.If this is a traditional Christmas dessert and you like Fruit Pudding, this is for you. Not for me.
