Very good, maritime appeal. I held off buying this as prices seemed to high $72. My usual Bowmore12 seemed a better buy. Eventually came across a better price, $39 this is a steal! Initially I was unsure but by the bottom of my first glass this goes on my good list. Some medicinal taste I’m not a fan of at initial opening but that seemed to air out, gets better down the bottle, something I’ve noticed with younger single malt. I really want to try the 18yr offering.
