I am finding it interesting to read the posts since I first started this thread to get an idea of how this blend is taking off...and how people are reacting to it. Definitely seems to becoming the whisky blend of choice for those of us into single malt Islays. Having finished my glass I can definitely feel the peat aftertaste in my mouth!
This is the first time I ever chose a JW anything at all, and the first time in years I actually wanted something that was not Islay. I'm still somewhat nonplussed, but happy about it anyway. It is saving a lot of money for me.
