I gave Scotch a chance, but, as a diehard Bourbon and Rye drinker, I just can't find a way to enjoy notes of Tobacco, Smoke, Leather, and Peat over Vanilla, Rye, Fruit, Caramel, etc. Therefore, this doesn't even come close to the my least favorite Bourbon or Rye. I gave away a full bottle and just kept a mini. Maybe I will try something better, closer in profile to Bourbon someday, or High West Campfire, but until then, Scotch is out for me. If you are a Bourbon drinker looking to explore Scotch, do yourself a favor and start with something better (maybe Double Black at least as someone suggested here).
