I am a big fan of the 12 so wanted to give this a go. Sometimes you want an 80pf so you don't get your face ripped off if you want to have more than needed. This hits the spot in that regard. Its not as good as the 12 but is solid in the low proof class along with WT81(totally agree with BD on this point) Im not gonna rehash tasting notes as they are very similar to the 12 with less developed flavor power and a bit more char cutting through. For the money its good whisky but again the 12 beats it on value as well. This is for when you choose a lower proof to keep the effects in check so to speak. Recommended and good for newbies too.........74/100

A fine assessment as per usual. I’ve noticed more chatter heading back towards lower proof drams recently after several years of cask strength this and barrel proof that. @BDanner is right. Sometimes you need something to get you through the night rather than end it.
Nice review. This, Four Roses Yellow, and WT81 are my got to's for 80 proofers. Sometimes you know it's going to be a long night and you want to be able to consume a little more than normal.
