I don't enjoy scotch. I'll experience it and tuck it under my belt to further expand my palate but I don't truly enjoy it. But after sampling the founders reserve, the 15 year and this 14 year I'm much less off put by it. I hate using this word but damn is it smooth. It has this dark fruity note that I really dig and I can only attribute that to the sherry and cognac finishing. I would happily seek this out at the bar but I don't think I like it enough to justify buying a bottle.
