Ruined me for life. This somehow turned out to be the first single malt Scotch I ever had. Tried it while working at a fancy cocktail bar back in 2012. I have one unopened bottle of it hidden away and I intend to be buried with it.
Yet to try this beastie! My first scotch was the more approachable glenfiddich, and was a single malt junkie for years after, as much as I could afford.
