Personally I haven’t found too many blends I wish to spend much money on, therefore I will continue to find the smallest quantity possible for purchase before sinking more than $25 for a 750ml bottle.  This is a blended whisky that is right at, or in some cases, surpassing the single malt price range, depending on where you are buying it.  And this is also where I have the biggest problem with it.  Quite honestly not a bad blend and fairly drinkable, yet not outstanding in my opinion either.  For about ten bucks less a 750ml bottle I might keep one around, but again I can’t justify purchasing it at a single malt price point.  I read the older expressions are nice, but very pricy for what you get ( kind of like another blend we all love to dismantle ).
