“Be specific but not memorable, be funny but don't make them laugh, he's gotta like you and then forget you the moment you left his sight “ - Rusty's art of conversation - Ocean's Eleven
In my opinion, this quote sums up very well this whisky. It is a wonderful dram. But not memorable. It tells you something. And then you don't remember what.
The moment you have an encounter with it you like it. A lot. And then you forget it. Every time you see it, it serves you well. It is there, doing perfectly what whisky does. Without too much pretension. This is why this is a very versatile whisky.
This is a good dram. You don't have to search too much to understand it. But you like it. And taken into consideration the price point - the winner of your wallet's preferences.
