I'm still new to Scotch whisky, but this is far and away the best cheap ($22 a handle!) Scotch I've tried so far. To my palate, much nicer than J&B or Dewars. It's not terribly complex, but it's also very approachable - no smoke or peat, sweet - but not cloying, and slightly spicy. For Bourbon and Irish Whiskey fans, this is a good, inexpensive entry point into Scotch.
