Tastes

Surprisingly good and complex for a 10 year Scotch. Very smooth. Not a typical Speyside character, but that makes it a crowd-pleaser.

Good stuff. The flavors remind me more of an aged rum than a whiskey, but they are still very nice. I find it a bit too much to drink without water or ice. Probably a misuse of such expensive whiskey but I've enjoyed it most Old Fadhioned and Manhattan cocktails. The high proof and flavors make it awesome for cocktails.

Very solid whiskey, but so expensive! Nicely peated, woody, and balanced. Fits nicely into the Suntory lineup.

Not generally a fan of peated scotch, but I did enjoy this one. Complex and tasty before the peaty finish sets in.
