This is my favorite go-to single malt, and one I was enjoying before I really become interested in whisky. One of the best price-quality ratios around. Luke, I completely agree with your review.

I do like the effect of the limousin casks: very noticeable in comparison to the typical bourbon casks. I'd call the effect creamy spiciness. That said, it is still highly balanced. It makes a good dessert dram, and would probably be a good first dram for a beginner. As an everyday drinker, I'm not sure it justifies the $20 price differential.

I don't know how much the 15 Year French Oak goes for in your area, but for me, it's about $8 more per bottle. I really like that one as a more interesting whisky for just a bit more money. Have you had a chance to compare the two? Thanks, Jeff I can’t argue with buying this one as an “everyday” malt.
