Good dram. Of course I have to say that since I respect the 12, but is it worth much of a price difference? Well, not too sure with what you can get once you get to the 15/18. Being more of an Islay fan, and even though I can appreciate a decent speyside, it's hard to justify much more of an investment in taste here. This one I'd call a B+. To make things fair, this was a dram at a bar, so I should give it more time and attention maybe the next go around. I will update my review, if necessary.
