B+ for taste. I good Malt. However, it seemed too limited in terms of palate to be really good. It remains however a very interesting dram as it has been finished in virgin oak.
B for the price. Listed at 89$ (SAQ), it's not a bargain as I am not sure everyone would enjoy this one. Some might but some could find it too light in terms of taste for the price....taste before purchase.
B+ for presentation. Cool light blue bottling, nice white/blue contrast too it.
