For the money, this is my favorite stand by. It is genuine blended malt and has a delicious, fruity, vanilla flavor with some overtones of pear. I can get this for $26.00 at my local liquor store. Average price is probably around $31.00. I've seen for as low as $23.99. Tends more towards sweet and fruit, but little smoke or peat. This is a scotch everyone should have on their shelves and would be widely appealing to just about anyone who likes whisky, bourbon and scotch lovers, alike.
