I have a bottle of it in my cupboard (and a glass of it in my hand) as we
speak.  Och, it's no from Scotland, that's plain.

It's light-bodied, with an unfortunate aftertaste that reminds me of
dishwashing detergent.  I kid ye not, lads and lasses.  I really hope
subsequent production improves, because this bottle proves that Canadians
should stick to making rye, and leave Scotch to the Scots.  In all
seriousness, avoid this one.
