Tastes

Possibly distilled by the hands of a Gaelic god, with hints of brown sugar and vanilla, this is the one bottle I would need to have on a stranded island.

Whereas some peated single malts can feel like they were distilled by Esso, this is a wonderful scotch, with hints of toffee and leather. The body is full and the finish prolonged. Worth every penny.

Possibly the Toyota of single malts, without aspiration for greatness but with consistent quality for what you're paying. Both the nose and taste hint to caramel, the body lacks body, and the finish regretfully finishes too quickly. Despite the shortcomings, it's good whiskey for $50 CAD.

Remarkably terrible. The nose is quite pleasant, misleading the eventual outcome, with flavor and body that is a clusterfuck of awful. Prepare yourself for the experience of staring at a tumbler for an indeterminate period of time and wondering, "Who the hell at Edrington Group approved this?"
