Johnny Walker Swing

Just curious if anyone here drinks JW Swing.
I used to drink it in college. Several of us were Scotch drinkers and I always had some swing, well swinging. It was my favorite at the time. I had not had any for more than 15 years, and just recently ordered a few bottles. I still like it. It's a really SMOOTH blend, no over the top "alcohol" taste, not super complex but its in there, very drinkable and pretty cheap ($55). Give it a try, smooooth. I like the bottle too. I tried to find some tasting notes, but it looks like everyone overlooks this hidden gem. If you're a peat monster lover you won't like it. I tastes like it's mostly highland/speyside. The only thing that I HATE is the plastic cap. It totally kills it for me. Scotch drinking is a complex experience, that cap is crap. It's going into a crystal decanter ASAP!
