Good blended Scotch. I have never seen it in MO, so took advantage when a Florida shipper was offering Black Friday free shipping. There supposedly is more than 50% malt in the blend, and at least a portion of it is in the 16-18 year range. (Who knows if it is %1 or %20 of the blend.) It pours a pale straw gold in the glass, noses of ripe orchard fruit, honey, biscuit, vanilla, and wax, yes wax. In the mouth it is soft and smooth and displays the flavors promised by the nose. There may be a touch of peat as an accent in the blend, but I am not really picking it up. This costs as much as some 10-12 yo single malts, but is good and shows the artistry of a master blender. Single malt or blend, if your tastes slip to the fruity side of Scotch, I think this is well worth a try.
