For the price tag of $30 it is DEFINITELY worth it and I can almost guarantee there will not be another whiskey under $80 that is this good.

However I fail to see how it can hold a candle to the likes of my beloved Balvenie 17/21 and Hibiki 21. They are in a league of their own. Although they are exponentially more expensive lol.

However, I don't think it lives up to the hype, I've had quite a few better whiskeys. But for $30 it is easily the best in its price range.
My thoughts exactly lol! Damn I'm already halfway through my bottle... it's too easy to crack it open when I know the bottle was only $30 compared to my other $200+ bottles.
I'm a poor man with a rich hobby lol so when you do the math, a skimpy 2oz pour of my Balvenie Port Wood cost roughly the same as half the bottle of this Northern Harvest
I'm definitely gonna grab myself a couple more bottles next shipment!
