For a classic single malt this whisky struggles to provide a familiar profile. The brand has done a decent job of mixing the beer malt flavors with those more reminiscent of a classic scotch. It is also a fair bit hotter proof-wise than your everyday single malts and for all of these reasons I find it to be a bit unbalanced. Not a bad whiskey and fun for an experiment but maybe not right for an every-day-drinker.
