Bought this as my local had it on special offer. First impression was that I was not impressed.
It had a rather rough oiliness to the body that reminded me of Glenfiddich (probably my least favourite single malt), and the aftertaste seemed to vanish before I had time to access it.
After a few more sips, I would place it a little higher than that unpleasant Speyside, but not significantly.
It's perfectly drinkable - just unspectacular, lacking much depth and with a slightly grating orange zest roughness that makes you pucker slightly.
Regretting not getting my usual Highland Park now - but will finish the bottle, which is more than I would do with Glenfiddich!
