I bought this, frankly, because of the price. A single malt for $22 is a good deal. It is a 6yr old scotch, and a bout what one should expect for a young whiskey. The nose s light and grassy, of course, it is a Speyside, so that should be no surprise. The flavor is simple and a bit flat for a good Scotch (by which I generally mean a 16 yr Balvenie or a 16 or 18 yr Bunnahabhain). It is, however, good, and at $21.99 compared to $60-120 it is well worth the price.
