I was surprised how much I enjoyed this.  While the finish was weak, the nose was wonderful and the body was more complex than I expected with both sweet and savory notes present.  My experience with mass market blended scotch has not been very good, lots of cheap entry level bottles are mixer material and not always good to drink straight up.  This blend is a much better testament to what a blender can achieve combining some 20 different component single malt and grain scotches.
