This is a decent entry level blended whisky. It's grainy and light just like all the rest except it doesn't have the bad off notes and flavours so many others have. I went back and forth between J&B Rare and Bells and the difference was substantial by comparison. This is a much better blend and it's about as cheap as you can get at the LCBO. Once you get past the rough young alcoholic nip and typical cheap sourness there is actually something decent lingering in the background. Light peat, cinnamon, clove and general vanilla sweetness. It's best with a couple cubes of ice as intended.
