I've bought a bottle last month at just $7, here in Peru. I knew it wasn't going to blow my palate, but I'm a Shackleton fan and thought, "if it was good for him it's got to be good for me." Really mellow, easy to drink. I could say it is "boring" compared to my Glenlivet 18, but it just too damn easy to drink, smooth as hell. It has also become my "I don't like whisky" bottle for friends. At this price, it's going to be a fixture in my house.

Growing up Band of Brothers was without a doubt my favorite show, so over the years of my stationing in Europe I finally had the thought to locate it myself. Finally found a bottle in both a dive bar in Brindisi, Italy and Chania, Crete. Hands down my favorite all purpose whiskey for mixing and drinking straight. CHURAHEE!!!

I don't usually go in Scotch but I've to say that I really enjoyed this brand, it has a very rich smooth taste.

Really it was what I expected.

I purchased a bottle in Rudesheim Germany. I enjoyed it even though I don't normally drink whiskey. I will purchase this I'm respect for LT Nixon.

Usually i drink single malts from speyside to isle of islay, preferably with a sherry cask finish. Bought this one because my dad used to drink this, so nostalgia is involved here. I am truely surprised by it ! After letting it breathe for about 6-7 min, it starts to open up. Nice nose, and after letting it burn out, a very nice pallate, that opens up even more after 3-4 drops of water. Finish is a bit thin, compared to smokey islay's, but good enough for its price. My dad knew his whisky's, and i'll follow in his footsteps and will be buying this one more often
