Glen Grant 16 Year Old 70cl Whisky

“This is a tough one for me. I prefer Islay-style malts with tons of peat. And even for non-Islay, my first impression of this is, it's just too malty, smells like the bar my dad used to frequent next to the Seagrams distillery I grew up by in small-town midwest US. BUT, after getting a fill of Islay, I came back to non-Islay, and some had too much obvious sherry (macallan, glenlivet), some had too much wood/nuttiness (balvenie, glenfiddich), some had too much nothing-at-all (oban, scapa), and this was the only thing left that felt just right. Okay and Old Pulteney 21 but that's double the price. So, I guess if you want a "just a scotch" scotch, I can't recommend anything better.”
