Comments: Maybe the Port Dundas is a surprise, idk, there's not much you can do to young grain whisky to make it palatable. Highland Park 10 I may need to go back to it. The review dated from years ago, but I do remember it being pretty awful, especially compared to how much of a crowd pleaser the 12 is.

Comment: MGP is likely up there too but it's hard to ralley up all their distillate under 20 different brands.
It's been great meeting so many folks along the way within the Ontario groups and while travelling around North America and Europe :) Thanks everyone! Cheers!
Simon with S&P.
