From the label; “An exceptionally smooth and mellow Scotch whisky blend containing a high proportion of Island and Speyside malts.” The nose reveals the distinctive & pleasant characteristic of grain whisky along with some sweetness and wood notes; some oak spiciness. Fruit cake and brine. Quite unlike most blends. The taste is gentle and rounded and quite delicious with some very sweet smoke intermingled with light coal tar, warming, some hints of bandages or Hessian. Mild banana. A very gentle mouth feel. The finish is long and warming with more smoke, followed by the sweetness and the mild banana, dry oak notes and cold tea (without milk or sugar). Extraordinarily good.

US$27 in the USA. Worth twice as much actually. Find it and try it. Don’t think, just do it.
