So this scotch to me is like most people you'd invite to a good party. You need bodies to make a party good and you gotta have those bodies be fun enough to keep things going. That's this scotch. One of the guests, and one that you're glad made it out. But if they hadn't - no big deal as long as a few just like it came. So it's pleasant - with a splash of water things open up a bit but it's not what is call a complex dram. It's drinkable - and pleasant - and I doubt I'll be dreaming about my next glass of it.
