I finally decided to give this a try after seeing several positive/semi-positive reviews. I am glad I did. Somehow it works. This is light whisky blend, with so little malt in it it is hard for me to place it a a Scotch. In a blind tasting I don't think I could. The mezcal cask influence is clearly there offering a touch of grassy agave and that musky smoke of a traditional mezcal. In a true blind tasting many would take this for a delicate mezcal---perhaps finished in a former whisky barrel. If this blend had more malt in it, I don't think the overall flavor balance would work. Anyway, it is a pleasant alternate drink and is only $22 where I live. Cheers!
