Expert Review
7.5/10John Glaser's peated blended Scotch — 67% malt (Highland, Speyside, Islay) and 33% Lowland grain. Ex-bourbon, first-fill sherry, and new French oak. The Islay component gives it distinctive peat unusual for a blend at £32. Puts many big-name blends to shame. The Whiskey Jug: 85/100.
