Nothing special about this. Admittedly, I'm not a fan of scotch, but still, I'm not a fan of this. Nose is just nauseating fruity and a little smoke Taste is the same, but a little sweeter. The smoke isn't interesting, it's just boring. Followthrough- there is none. Yeah... Really don't like it. I didn't taste any of the influence of the rum cask finish. Like I said, I already don't like scotch or single malt whiskey a ton. And trying this just made me one step closer to not trying to enjoy scotch anymore.
