A fine enough scotch for the price

In the grand scheme of scotch, I have had better and worse. It is smooth enough to sip neat without much trouble, but still has a bit of a bite.

More than a name, more than a mixer

Firstly, I loved that the name of this whiskey ties to how it used to be made. Now, this whiskey is marketed to be used in cocktails but me, I wanted to taste it solo dolo. It was actually not bad at all for being in this price range. It had some buttery vanilla notes and definitely oak, not much sweetness though. Since it was good on its own it should be great in a cocktail.
