I'm not rating at first pour as I would like to spend some time with the whisky as the bottle opens up. What I will state right now is that its so light it makes it hard for me to get anything out of this whisky. I think there should be an international law that prohibits whisky producers from selling whiskies under 92 proof and especially under 86 proof. Green Spot @ 80 proof is simply too weak to enjoy the flavor profiles offered in a whisky!
