Not sure what all the negative reviews are about. Perhaps it’s just from a different batch, but I quite enjoyed the bottle we got. (Batch 151, purchased in 2019.) I found it had the smokiness of a peaty scotch, while still have some sweetness, and a hint of fruit notes. My girlfriend, who hates peaty scotches, enjoyed it as well. Was thinking of ordering another bottle, but looking at the more recent reviews, I’m rethinking that.
