Had at Gram&Dun prior to LANY concert. It was easy...

uneventful

I like this guy. Quite a bit actually. It took me by surprise; a lower priced scotch used mainly in blends, well the expectations were low. But that is my snobbery talking, not my sense. A honey, nutty palette fills the mouth with a nice tame finish, a very pleasing dram to say the least.It is the type of drink that even the more whiskey-resistant of friends would have a hard time to poo-poo on. Would I buy it again? Eh, not sure yet. I will probably at some point, but that is more of a reflexion of the other great expressions out there (including the 18 and 21 of the same name). Great juice for the cost, but as for now I'm good.

Smells of orchard fruit and banana. Tastes of sherry casks with a hint of spice, and finishes spicy.
