I know, I know, I really shouldn't like this bottle so much. Heavy on the sherry, the color is unnaturally red, and it is the only bottle I have that doesn't show up in my Whiskeys of the World book as a recommended selection. Buuuut... I love it. In a taste test my son and I liked it as much if not more than Lagavulin 16, although granted they are nothing alike. My good friend in AZ is also a fan. And, to beat the band, I can find it all day long for $39.98 at my local whisky dealer.
