that you had to mix it with Coke just to choke it down?
I have now had this experience. 
It isn't always a good idea to get what's on sale.

Highland Park 12 is the perfect single malt to represent many of the characteristics that the different regions of Scotland has to offer.
If you disliked it enough to want to ruin it with Coke, I'd say that scotch isn't your thing. |

I've only ever had one Scotch too foul to drink...Loch Dhu Black. Take a well-used ash tray, dribble a little ethanol in it and swish it around. Drink it. That's Loch Dhu Black. 
This being Arfcom, someone will be along shortly to tell me that it's actually really good.
