you know I dont actually like this whisky, but for the price you kind of have to. this scotchs main weakness for me is its sweetness, which isnt either confectionary or the dark smoothness of tawny port of bourbon, but just plain sickly sweet cream. blegh. behind that though theres fruit, mustyness, and peat that isnt at all bad. the more I sip it actually, the more I'm coming around to this. I never really drink blends or grain (as opposed to malt) whisky, so this is definitely a change.
