I have read and seen several decent reviews of this blend. Finally was able to purchase it on sale so it wasn't a huge gamble. No, this is not a top notch Macallan or Glenmorangie single malt; but, it delivers what it promises. It is a blend of youthful malts and grain whisky. There must be a high proportion of malt for it has a great mouthfeel. the most noticed flavor is of malt and butter-toffee, usually true for young whiskies. There are touches of ripe fruit, sherry, smoke, and peppery oak. At 100 proof it can be a little hot; a small dash of water to lower the proof to 90 takes away the heat, but does not diminish the flavor. More water and the flavor completely falls apart. Overall, a very pleasant and not too complicated dram. If you can get it at a good price it is a bargain. However, many retailers are charging prices on par with good single malts. Don't do that. I got mine on sale under $15.
