I see this for $12 / bottle (a litre no less) and they're basically begging me to buy it. Fine, in for two.
A fascinating love child of scotch and bourbon. Maybe the scotch took a business trip to the States. It met bourbon. They thought it would be a parting fling, a random hookup at the airport bar. Throwing fidelity and vows to the curb, the passionate interlude that wasn't supposed to be anything more than lust turns into a lifetime of child support payments and whispered family secrets.
But in this case, that lustful interlude is actually a really oaky, smokey, aroma with a spunky and rich mouthfeel. Lots of vanilla and oak, not much malt whisky flavor, but a fascinating hybrid of scotch and bourbon that works very well. I found this on clearance, hence the low cost.

@PBMichiganWolverine - lustful, airport bathroom hookup and spunky mouthfeel should be reserved for the pages of Hustler, not Distiller. But, I’m obtuse enough to appreciate the cunning wordplay. Well done.
Note to self: never flirt at airport bars...
