[12.27.2018] A friend shared his annual tradition of drinking this bottle while our girls exhausted themselves at an indoor bouncy house. A win-win even if the scotch had been disappointing. Fortunately, it was far from. I forgot to record the bottle number. Very sweet, like fruit and flowers in Spring, little to none of the smoke, peat, or common tannins or brine. This is a pure scotch, clean and fresh without anything over the top. balanced, easy drinker that is far better cold. If you let it sit in the glass you'll reveal some of the harsher alcohol tones. Solid drink that will also make you appreciate the affordable NAS blends on the market.
