It has been a while since I tried this, but I remember it as an unobtrusive whisky. I neither loved it nor hated it. It was fruity and a bit herbal, with no real peat on the nose or palate. It had a slightly watery texture, but not bad. The finish was short and sweet. I actually bought this for a German Professor, who I was told was retiring. As he was the keynote speaker at a conference I organised, I presented it to him after his talk. I went on and on about his dedication to the field, his tireless efforts, blah, blah. He smiled a bit nervously through my speech. He then very nicely announced that I had been misinformed and he wasn't retiring. That evening he opened the Royal Lochnagar, we all had a good laugh and got pissed. Thank god I didn't buy something more expensive.
