Reviewed April 3, 2021 (edited November 16, 2021)It's hard to give a poor rating to this. It's inoffensive, super affordable (cheap) and doesn't try to be otherwise. Don't go in expecting complexity or bold flavors, not at this price. Just enjoy it for what it is. -

Reviewed January 22, 2021A little fruit, sweetness and a tiny bit of spice. Quite smooth, very drinkable if only a little muted. Solid. -

Reviewed November 14, 2020I'm not tasting the price tag, I just taste a respectable blend of mild Inverness flavors. After all, no distiller is trying to make bad product, and this one is aimed squarely at the budget drinker without apology. It does manage to appeal to whisky drinkers who just don't care for the peat/phenolic flavors and want a clean, mild dram. Thanks for nailing it.11.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed August 28, 2020 (edited December 18, 2023)Rating: 2/23 OK, I'm killing the bottle with this pour. Finally. This was incredibly difficult to get through, particularly since I had to buy it in a 1.75L bottle, but I guess that's what you have to do when you want to sample the cheapest, most god-awful scotch on the shelf. N: Lots of sulfur and vegetal notes. This is clearly young and it's quite obvious that there are lots of heads and tail in this. Oof. It does at least smell a little rich. Or maybe that's bad. I get a fair amount of alcohol. It really isn't a good or complex nose. P: This is quite harsh. The bad flavors do help to cover up the industrial ones somewhat though. Yay? I get a lot of sulfur and vegetal notes (and maybe a bit of something bitterly and astringently herbal as well). There's a faint hint of chocolate as well. Not complex, but definitely rich. It feels like somebody tasted an Islay scotch and figured people would like just any rich, bitter, strongly flavored scotch. There is some caramel sweetness and a hint of cereal bringing in some balance, so it isn't a total loss, but it's quite aggressively bad. F: The sulfur really sticks around, along with a little bit of herbal and vegetal notes, plus some caramel, cereal, and smoky chocolate. The burning eventually stops here, so it's better than the palate, but that's a pretty low bar to be setting. I'd place this below Glen Ness. It might even be below Glen Logie since I can imagine burying Glen Logie in a drink, but I can't imagine burying this. Piper's Clan actually has a slightly more appealing profile as well. This is somehow even more-in-your-face with the sulfur. Yeah, it's a bit richer with a hint of chocolate, but big flavors does not make this nice like a peat bomb. I have to say, I prefer both Glen Logie and Piper's Clan to this and I only gave them 3s. There's a little bit of complexity with a couple of hints of nice flavors that save this from a 1. Well, maybe they save it from a 1. I'm giving it a 2 for now and I sure as hell am not buying another bottle to see if it really is as bad as a 1 out of 23. Ugh, side by side, this is substantially worse than Piper's Clan, but I'm going to stick with my rating of 2 for now.6.43 USD per Bottle
