A very interesting blend, not bad at all definitely worth $30 that I payed. Like the label says, it's definitely comprised of "mature grain and single malt scotch", I don't taste any harshness like in the bottom end blends. It tasted like Johnnie walker black, without the fruitiness and with more peat and smoke. It taste like a more refined version of black grouse. It's quite enjoyable Definitely worth a try!
