Imperial 12 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky Review
Looking for a decent bottle of Scotch that’s under $25 and aged for more than a decade? Normally, we would just say good luck, but this Sazerac-produced blend surprisingly checks both boxes. It may not have the most complex whisky, but it is pleasantly balanced with great depth of flavor. You won’t find a better bottle at this price.
