Tastes

Too peaty for my liking, so I prefer the Gold or Blue label. This is a good entry bottle into the more peaty drinks Scotland has to offer.

On the rocks, it was quite harsh on the first sip and not much on the nose, but it did get smoother a sip or 2 after. I was pleasantly surprised as it steered away from the over sweet taste I got from the basic Jim Beam but not something I will be buying quickly.

A nice surprise on the smoothness from the regular #7, although still retaining some of that JD banana originality. Can find better for the price but still worth a try. Buffalo or Heaven Hill have better offerings for much cheaper. Gimmick (personal opinion).

If you like banana flavour thisnis the 1 for you. My cheaper go too with coke (until Traveler arrived).
