Tasting Methodology: Neat in a Canadian Glencarin glass. Rested 10 minutes. Nose: bright tropical fruit Mouthfeel: light oil Palate: peaty oak. Finish: lame. Rating: 5/10 Price paid: $90 Value rating: 1/10. This will make a fine $30 whisky - I would rather have the Costco stuff. Note: this is not a bold whisky. Too subtle for my palate. Would I get again? No. It lacks character and direction. Perhaps this is a good entry-level peat, but it feels like a very watered down talisker/lagavulin
