    This is truly an exquisite single malt. The flavour is light and delightful, almost a bit of a hint of licorice. I love it.

    This was a gift to my brother who is a big fan of single malts and has been for 60 years. He said this was exquisite and likely the best he's ever tasted. He pushed it far to the back of his cupboard so that it lasts longer.

    Whiskey is a great quality as is the write up regarding the Squadron. For those who haven’t, I recommend the whiskey, for those who have, “checker checker” savour and enjoy to the fullest. Huge shout out to Neil for putting this together.
