The nose is sweet malt and light fruit.  The palate is light and sweet with malt flavors forward and some fruit in the back ground.  The finish is mostly malty.  This is textbook Speyside stuff. 

Straightforward and inoffensive but also unexciting and lacking in complexity.

n:  Solvent and fermenting fruit.

 

p:  Noticably thin and malty.  Blendy and watered down.  Not much else worth saying.  $22 could be spent on worse things, though.

N: Light, very small amount of white pepper, generally malty. Hints of pears, a little apple, faint touch of cinnamon, a bit of nutmeg and a little polished wood.

 

P: Light, slightly bitter wood initially with a touch of hard graininess. Malty sweetness comes up after that & a light touch of vanilla.

 

F: Vanilla leads with a touch of cinnamon, a bit of light wood, some maltiness but dries back to wood.

 

Very faint. Not much happening; a little better than the usual estery pears many entry-level malts have, but it's still bland. Has that slight hard graininess you get on some Irish whiskies. Underdeveloped and weak flavors, likely a result of bottling strength.

Not much going on.  Its kinda blend-y and a bit sour.
