oh me, oh my. this is such a delightful little drop. acquired mine in europe - its caol ila stock approach, with all the benefits you might expect from a bit more of a lie down. is it worth the extra on the standard? by dram in a restaurant: possibly. at the duty free: if you're bored and need a speaking piece. that said: i have this, and i love it. smokey, barley, smooth with long term wood character and a place in the afterlife.
