I bought this a few years ago when I first started buying premium whiskey. I had tried it then and did not care for the burnt aftertaste. They say an opened bottle should be drank from 6 months to 2 years after opening. Well, after 4 to 5 years it still tastes the same bitter taste with a really bad burnt aftertaste. I just don't see that I will ever finish this bottle. Guess it will become a drain cleaner! Just not a fan of scotch whisky. I think I will stick with Irish Whiskey.
