If I were forced into choosing a favorite whisky, it would have to be this one. I would select this based on value and consistency of quality. It has a strong, peaty flavor, consistent with the whiskies of Islay, but it’s smokiness gives way to the most glorious burst of flavor as it goes down. It stays with you for some time, trust me. This is a scotch to warm you on a winter’s day, lift your spirits on any occasion and bring a smile to your face. It’s simply gorgeous. Even if you are not a whisky drinker, it is worth having this in your cabinet because it will impress any of your discerning scotch-loving friends.
