Best value bottle, and if I were to sum it up into one parase it would be "crowd pleaser". This is because it has a very nice balanced taste and is a pleasure to SIP from start to finish. It starts for the fans of spice, but a dash of water brings out sweet florals and citrus. Directly after the initial flavor burst, the flavor mellows into a smooth leather. At first taste smoky whisky lovers may be disapointed, however the aftertaste is distinctly smoky with a hint of brine and lingers in the mouth until the next sip.
