The best of the cheaper brands in terms of smoothness, quality of alcohol and lack of bitterness. Although there is a slight peaty quality, which gives this blend some class, it tends, understandably so, to be a bit on the bland side. This is not true for all bottles, but lately, it has been my experience. As for all the cheap blended scotch, I don’t notice anything particularly aromatic about it, other than hints of a bit of everything. It does have the advantage of not being overly sweet or cereal-like, although that may be a result of the slight smoky flavour. Great if you want to drink for cheap without worrying about hangovers or a bad taste in the mouth the next day.
