Idk about paying one hundred clams for this bottle....- but it’s really well balanced and smooth- not necessarily complex, but won’t disappoint. It’s dark looking - and regardless of added color I still prefer a dark “scotch” - for example; Hedonism is so damn tasty but it’s color throws me way off- it looks like a Chardonnay and tastes like a beast. So, added color in scotch you say? I’ll take it.
