Gentle, heather honey notes lead to a delicately rounded mouthfeel. Very friendly and nice, but not as subdued as an Irish whiskey. At $70-$80 USD, it's a tad pricey. But if you want to make an impression on a beginner scotch drinker, this is a great pick. My Rating Glossary: Two Stars: "I'd rather be drinking lite beer." Two 1/2 Stars: "Posh rubbish." Three Stars: "I love whisk(e)y. This is average love." Three 1/2 Stars: "May buy again." Four Stars: "I've got to get you into my life." Four 1/2 Stars: "Better than drugs." Five Stars: "Life is good. Whisky makes it better."

I've been tasting and testing whiskeys for just over a year, and this is my favorite by far. Very smooth. Wonderful flavor and aroma.
