I sought this out because it is only $US 20 where I am and I wanted to get into single malts after trying many blends. For the true beginner this would be a turn off, it's just too difficult to get at the nice parts. There are pleasant aromas and tastes in the background but in the foreground is some raw, young harshness without much of a pleasant finish which might not be bad if say you were drinking this before a meal or in hot weather.
I find many upscale blends taste better to me than Speyburn 10 year old. This could be ok as a diversion for the truly educated palate or an introduction for the relatively sophisticated beginner (as I like to think I am) but it is not something I would seek out or buy in the future.
This is my first review and I have had about half of the bottle over a month or so.
