This is not bad, but the shelf price is way above the promise. It's blended to be somehow "complex", but that didn't create some interesting shape but boring sphere. I usually frown upon bottles of well aged alcohol diluted to bare legal minimum of 40 ABV. Sometimes even the 2-3 extra makes difference, at least a gesture that master blender stop before bottom. This "theory", by my taste, fit's most of the bottles and JW Black Label is no difference. This is entry level Scotch, or "I don't know but it says 12 so that must be good" level. For the first one, there is plenty different and better options, for the latter there is no hope. I just don't think this is bottle needed to be shelved by any user of this database.
