No. Not a chance.
Also, don't ever buy the tiny sample bottles. Waste of money.
On NYE, my neighbour and I did a sampling. His 375mL sample bottle of Blue, and a flight of Red, Black, Platinum and a proper size Blue.
First, the sample size was complete garbage. Like, worse than the red.
Red is pretty bad.
Black is drinkable.
Platinum is oily but not too bad.
Blue is good, but oily and doesn't really have any defining characteristics other than being a relatively smooth drink.
For the price, you are much better off buying a single malt IMO.
