This is a single malt scotch-style whisky - as we all, hopefully, know by law no whisky can be called 'Scotch' unless it is made in Scotland - that is quite decent for an eight year old. I will in due course be updating this to include my take on this nice whisky (no 'e') made in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. This was given to me for my big 80 on the 19th October by my sweetie of some thirty odd years and I have tried it about four different times and other than saying that while it is not like my favorite smokey-peat style Scotchs from Scotland and that it is a pale gold in colour, I find it hard to pin down to a verbal description that truly conveys the interesting flavour and easy to drink feel of this fine 8 year old. Look here for an update soon.
