Great name. I mean, a truly great name. The whiskey itself? …Eh.

A blend of malt whiskies that becomes much more than the sum of its parts. Distinctive and delicious!
Overall Rating: ★★★
Is it horrendous? No. Is it overpriced and only a shadow of what the distillery has to offer? Absolutely.

It ain't bourbon or scotch, that's for sure. This is a very good thing in my book, and I hope it holds true for you as well.
Overall Rating: ★★★
Offensively bad at the price, made altogether worse by being positioned as a capable stand-in for a much better product. A total skip.

An underachieving whiskey for sure. If you're wondering if the alternative to Bushmills and Jameson is any good, it really isn't.

Auchentoshan isn't really known as a powerhouse distillery. So what do you do when you know the market is itching for boldness? You force yourself to be something you're not. Here, it's surprisingly successful.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
Sometimes it's important not to let a distillery's mass-market offering color your opinion of their entire range. I really don't like the standard Jameson much, but I quite enjoyed this.

You want to know why rooting for an underdog is hard? Because it's hard for it to win, and disappointment comes easy. Overall Rating: ★☆☆
A light, otherwise boring whisky might be able to escape the sharpest barbs of criticism if the price was good. However, the distillers want about $45 for this, and at that price this bottle has nowhere to hide. Overall Rating: ⃠
Sometimes you find yourself in the mood for a quiet, comforting dram. Other times you want a monster to stomp all over you. This is not a quiet, comforting dram. Overall Rating: ★★★
