This is nice solid nas scotch. The rum finish works well to complement what is basically Founders Reserve. Poured neat, nose is bursting with ripe fruits. Tropical flair with banana, coconut and papaya. Light spice and barrel but fleeting. Palate is said fruits combined with barley , some vanilla from the bourbon barrel and Glenlivet skunky coffee bean. Its really enjoyable for my tastes. Not great depth yet still full of flavor. Finishes out with drying tannins offsetting the lingering fruity overtones. Barley sugars the last to let go. This hits the spot for my scotch sweet tooth and I would actually buy this again which is more than I can say for the rest of the GL line.......86/100......little bonus for value. This destroys the Grangestone rum finish but The Balvenie is superior

Pretty good price for a decent rum finish. It's a whole $20 cheaper than Glenfiddich Fire & Cane. I'm glad it worked out.
@Benji-Robert It was better than I expected . If you like sweet this should work
excellent notes will probably snag some next week
