I purchased for $15 . What do you get for that investment....well you get a cork, a 5 year age statement, 86 proof and 40% malt/60% grain. You also get a decent scotch with actual flavor and great value. Poured neat, nose is light with fruit, honey, some malt and yeah the grain notes. Palate is nice blast of honey malt, golden apple with some slight bitter wood and more grain sneaking in. The mouthfeel is soft and pretty good for this price range. Finish is fairly quick with a fade of the fruity malt and drying wood. Minor grain overtones. Couple drops of water really enhances the palate and adds some creaminess. Overall this is damn good for 15 bucks and I don't worry at all that Im plowing through the bottle. Have to say I will buy this again to extend the life of my pricier stock. No world beater and sure the grain is present but this is better than most bottom shelfers Ive had.......76/100.....That being said Speyburn Bradan Orach is a little more $ but a fantastic single malt value

well my bottle of peated reserve is almost done. Cant say i would rate it any higher than the standard issue but for a cheap blend its ok. If anyone wants to add the peated reserve thats awesome but I only operate here on pc
@Ctrexman If you have a smartphone download and have crack otherwise if not let me know. i'm the opposite..much easier on the app..only use pc for back up of reviews :-)
I only use pc for this site, dont even have the app
...yeah it has to be done via the app. As far as I know you can't do it from your PC/laptop.
@Ctrexman You can just do it via the android and apple app i believe. Just input a lot of garbage to the search function and then a plus should show up, click on that and you are away. The latest update may be a cut down of the web portal in that case may not work. let me know and I'll add
I dont know how to add a bottle but Ive got Bank Note Peated Reserve can anyone help me out?
Ct, another nice review. I have had this in the past, and, like you thought it was OK for the money but would prefer something else for a couple bucks more. Happy to be here with you at Distiller. This old geezer eill try to learn the new ropes.
agreed easily better than subterranean east coast travel with a few thousand of your closest friends
Yep glass bottle too, what a deal
...or for $15, you can go an entire 1 mile from NJ to NYC in the Lincoln Tunnel. I’d rather go for this here...
You forgot to mention you get a glass bottle..or is it plastic? :-)
