Steve's Review
  • Overall rating:6.75 
  • Smokiness: 3
  • Sweetness: 2
  • A little bit soft. Not much of a taste, maybe a little bit of some kind of soft tree like spruce, maybe oak like Max says but watered down. Again not much of a taste but pleasantly tickles your tastebuds on the way down.

Max's Review
  • Overall Rating: 7
  • Smokiness: 4
  • Sweetness: 5
  • Pretty run-of-the-mill kind of scotch. Nice amber colour and a bold oaky taste
  • Not too strong on the nose, just smells like scotch
Random Category - If Matt asked to have some of this scotch, what would you say?

Max/Steve/Will - Fuck No...you low down, break dancin', VW drivin', mechanical engineerin', formula lovin', dubstep listenin', DOTA playin', south park quotin', bicycle ridin', hip thrustin', skinny ass motherfucker!

Max's Review
  • Overall Rating: 8
  • Smokiness: 3
  • Sweetness: 7
  • Distinctly a Speyside scotch. Vanilla and hazelnut hints on the nose, and flavors of mint leaf and caramel on the palate.
  • A light easy drinking scotch, good for any occasion

Max's Review:
  • Overall rating: 6
  • Sweetness: 9
  • Smokiness: 2
  • Hints of vanilla can be smelled through the over powering varnish aroma
  • Very sweet, tastes like dried fruits and maple syrup (not surprising) that are somewhat kept in check with enough water/ice
  • This tasted better in the store
Will's Review:
  • Overall rating: 5
  • Sweetness: 8
  • Smokiness:2
  • The initial nose was medicinal and solvent-like. The taste is quite sweet, like a first date, and persists, unlike a first sex. Hints of tire rubber and licorice. Not my style of scotch.
Steve's Review:
  • Overall rating: 4
  • Sweetness: 9.something
  • Smokiness: 0
  • Its got a initial sickly sweetness that punches you in the face and lingering medicinal aftertaste that steals your kidney and leaves you to wake up in a bathtub full of ice
  • Not much of anything you would call...."taste"
  • Texture is like ...water....

Random Category - If this scotch was a bumper sticker, what would it be?
Max - "I'd rather not be drinking Signal Hill"
Steve - or "I Love My Country But Hate Signal Hill"
Will - "My other pussy is a bottle of Signal Hill"
