Ordered this after the Oilers game in Edmonton at that bar called...whatever. Not the worst $8 I've ever spent, but I certainly will look for better ways to spend $8 from here on out. On the nose, not sure if it was the whisky or the dirty glass that smelled like dish rag. On a second approach the nose was of bananas with a hint of the barrel. On the tongue, very balanced, perhaps overly so since a single distinctive character refused to stand out. For the same price go for something like the Oban 14.
