Used this whisky with a splash of soda. The rounded mouthfeel came through clearly, and warm oak kept the sip interesting. This one earned a place on my repeat list.

It had a decent rounded mouthfeel; after that, the finish disappeared quickly. Perfectly drinkable, just not something I'd seek out.
spiced - dryI paid more attention to the finish on Castle Rock. There was enough nutty edge to keep me interested, even though the smoke covered everything else. Still a good pick and one I'd have again.
