This scotch gives new meaning to smoking whiskey;it does have the leather smell with dried apple and raisin undertone’s but in my opinion it’s unpleasant,it has a wet cigarette taste and has a tobacco bite at the back of the tongue and upper throat,I’m not a smoker so it’s a real turn off.I wonder if their processing this whiskey with tobacco leave’s somehow because it really does have a tobacco essence.
The best part of this review is give me back my bullets playing in the background no offense but I just love that song.I bought a bottle of this today to try tonight,thanx for the info.
I wasn’t thrilled with this whisky but I DARE you to try the Highland. It’s undrinkable. That bottle stays in the cabinet until someone I hate happens to be at my house. This distiller just seems gimmicky. They don’t give much info on the bottle or on the site and I hate that they make a whisky for each region (without actually being in that region)

This scotch really surprised me. Drank some last night and was very surprised at how smooth and sweet it was. Smell is incredible.

Very solid cheap scotch. Probably the best bang for your buck when it comes to Islay whisky.

I’ll have to try them sometime, which one of the three seems to be the best??

Very affordable in VA.

@TheManInTheMasks
McLellands is 5 years old. I still like it though. It’s pretty smooth for such a young scotch.

What this seems to help reinforce is the fact that the older the scotch gets, the lower the “bang for the buck”…
did they say how old it was??, I am assuming they don’t for such a low price tag???
