Not much love for this blend... unfortunate. Sure, if compared to high end single malts... it likely comes up wanting... but for the price... a 5 star bargain. I drink on the rocks with a twist... takes the small amount of grain alcohol bite away... nice peat presence, but not a steamroller found in many Islay malts... IMO, this is superior to a big seller, JW Red. For those who enjoy good scotch, with some peat presence... but have a tight budget... a superb everyday sipper. A nice step up for bargain hunters... Tomatin Dualchas.
