$79.99 @ Dan's, so if you are willing to spend $3 more you can pick it up from a heap of places …
anyone tried this before? would this be better than something like Johnny black label?
Much better than Johnny Black.
Well it will be quite different from JW black.
This is a single malt, that means you will have a chance to note the flavours/smells over a blended whiskey; blended whiskeys tend to use cheaper/younger batches of single malts (usually 2-4 varieties).
Firstly, if you haven't tried a single malt before and don't drink them neat. Don't go spending $80 on a bottle of this to mix. It is a waste. It is stupid.
Secondly, if you are not used to peaty/smokey whiskey, I would not suggest you try this off-the-bat.
Lastly, here's an article that may interest you, if you wish to learn more about blended/single malts etc.

This is a Highland SIngle Malt not Islay or Speyside. I can't comment on it personally but I'd imagine it's not a smokey/peaty bite like most think it will be deep and rich
Edit: Misread the heading, that was aroma not taste.
guys thanks very much for the responses. Especially Telios. very informative.
14 years old - isn't that too young to drink?
single malt is completely different to johnny black …
if you drink johnny straight, then make the switch to single malt and you'll never look back …
if you're drinking johnny with cola, you may as well drink beam or cougar :)
I really hate it when people say this. Johnny and coke is NOTHING like Beam or cougar. You can drink different things with coke and get different tastes. you put a glass of Chivas and coke and another of Beam and coke in front of anyone and they can't tell you the difference then their tastebuds must be seriously messed up.
It's more the fact that if you're mixing, you should get the cheap stuff… Don't go for the Black label, when the a Red will taste almost identical when mixed ..
No, it doesn't. I hate Red and coke, but love black and coke, the difference is very clear. No I wouldn't mix anything over $50, but the say you can't tell the difference between two cheapies is foolish.
Oban is one of my favourite single malts and I highly recommend it to whisky lovers. BenMHarvey is correct - it is a Highland Malt and not at all smokey/peaty. It is however very smooth, almost creamy with a great depth of flavour.
You'll easily find Oban for ~$80 so this offer doesn't represent a massive saving. But if you want an excuse to try a fantastic whisky, then go right ahead…;)
Can somebody help clear this up for me, is this better or worse than a goon bag?
