It's a very good whisky; but, at this price, it should be a great whisky. I generally love cask strength whisky, However, this is VERY hot (you really feel the burn from the high ABV); and surprisingly, it has a relatively short finish. I'd rather buy two bottles of Highland Park 18 Yr for the price of one bottle of this.
