A great budget blend. I would suggest it for anyone to try. Highland park is good also and would suggest it to get a hint of that peat if you think it’s something you may enjoy. I naturally liked the heavy peated stuff. Arbeg, laphroaig, are both heavily peated. Think leather, campfire smoke, ash, etc.

I like the scotch drink better than most bourbons but there is a very wide spread of flavor profiles. Johnny walker black is another one I like and even famous grouse.
