Great Chocolate bars.
Great Chocolate bars.
Smooth and have a great surface gloss. Easily a match for the chocolate made by much bigger companies.
I love the Mint and Orange (although could be made better without the crunchy pieces) and closely followed by the Milk Chocolate.
Any chance of a Strawberry bar?
Great ice cream.
Great ice cream.
I love the different flavours, including the regional ones not seen outside of Scotland. Always looking very colourful in the ice cream counter, making them stand out against competitors.
The fruit sauces taste amazing and really fresh and fruity, adding a depth to the flavour of the ice cream. Presentation looks good, but it doesn't last long in our house to appreciate it enough.
Raspberry Ripple always looks amazing, globs of ripple throughout every scoop and the Scottish Tablet is out of this world.
What happened to this product? Used to be really good.
I think this is the first time I've not finished a serving of ice cream. No real flavour, texture wrong and too sweet. Also noticed the packaging is cheaper. Thinner plastic that cracks easily in the freezer.

This ice cream was always a family favourite but unfortunately the quality is no longer there. I will no longer be purchasing this product.

Mackie's cream of scottish, more like cold margarine.
Just tried Mackie's cream of scottish vanilla easy scoop ice cream for the first time. I mistakenly thought they had rebranded their Traditional real dairy ice cream to that.
Quite frankly when I opened the tub and saw this sickly yellow ice cream, I thought about throwing it straight into the bin. However, given how much I like their Traditional ice cream I gave it a try. Oh boy, wished I had gone with my first instinct. It tastes so bland, you neither get any real vanilla taste or any dairy taste. It's so synthetic and an abuse to any taste bud.
Quite simply avoid the easy scoop. It's disappointing enough that the Traditional has lost some of its creaminess over the last few years, but this easy scoop takes the biscuit.

Bought the chocolate chip mackies ice cream today. Usually im very satisfied the products from mackies scotland, however this time I am unfortunately not. Im not not even lying, I ate half the tub and only 2 chocolate chips. Not happy. #justiceformyicecream

Great ice cream
Great ice cream! Their traditional is always my favorite - creamy and made locally!
Back to usual delicious flavour.
I had a couple of purchases where vanilla tasted sour. I’m very sensitive to sour taste and don’t eat cheese. As this is my favourite ice cream I bought again
last week and absolutely delicious.
Keep up good work.
I love this product as not too sickly and great flavour.
Vulgar
Disgusting icecream.
It claims its raspberry ripple but is the most bland vanilla ice you have ever tasted.
Looks nothing like photo on the tub and not at all correct write up description, I will never be buying this brand again.
We thought it was that awful that it has gone in to the rubbish bin now.

Absolute bottom of the pit ice cream
Absolute bottom of the pit ice cream. The Honeycomb is void of Honeycomb completely tasteless the company should be prosecuted by Trading Standards for misleading advertising and for marketing the worst ice cream on the market.

Used to like it but sadly it's not the same. Obviously corners are being cut and artificial ingredients added, seems far sweeter than it used to also. Won't be buying again.
Tasted artificial
I bought a pack of the mini tubs of ice cream to give it a try I wish I hadn't the vanilla one tastes artificial even though it's got natural ingredients I won't be buying it again

I’ve not had Mackie’s dairy ice cream in a while, and have to say I was disappointed. It tasted very powdery and over sweet.

Not had it in a very long time and will avoid going for its just ice. What happened to the brand this is just appalling.
Best ice cream ever
I don’t know how they do it but this ice cream is the best I have ever tasted! It’s so creamy and I can’t stop buying it at my local Tesco!! I mainly buy the blue tub but need to try more flavours as I’m sure they’re all amazing!
Excellent
Been buying the blue tub for years - creamiest ice cream going imho
