I figured I would give it a go, but was sadly disappointed. The nose was spicy, floral, with hints of leather. This was not Smokey! The middle was barely drinkable and for a scotch, tasted more like a Kentucky bourbon, but some how off. The finish was barely noticeable, which was a good thing. If you’re into a bargain or interested in trying different whiskeys and scotch, give it a try. To each their own! Best of luck!
