- Tears flowed from my eyes as the alcohol burned my mouth and throat.
Great nose and horrible palate. The worst part of it was the fact I paid 30 dollars for this

- long finish with more salt and nice dryness
Not as complex as I was hoping for, but very nice. If you love salt and smoke, you'll love this dram. However, there are better scotches like Bowmore 12 yr and Laphroig 10 yr that rival this at a cheeper price
