Rattray's Hal o the Wynd

[Desertlifter]

The first time that I tried this one, I just plain didn't like it. I was annoyed at not liking a "Scottish" blenders goods. Yeah - I know it isn't made in the homeland anymore. So as is my wont, I ran a trade and review thread and tried as many Rattray's blends as I could find.

Now I love them, although I prefer Old Gowrie and Marlin Flake over HotW. I know I am in the minority there, but there you have it.

Yeah, the next order I make I think I'm gonna try some Old Gowrie. I've heard Marlin Flake is good, but it has added flavoring if I'm not mistaken and I generally don't care for that. There are very few blends with added flavoring that I enjoy.

But OG is on my list.

Quick update.
I ordered some Marlin Flake and my fears about the flavoring were unfounded.

Man, it is great stuff. Love it and I imagine it would be even better with some age on it.
