I adore grain whisky
Some are absolutely fantastic, this one isn't.

The younger generation
I'm only 22 so I'd like to think of my self as this younger generation you all refer too. This does not appeal to me at all, I was first introduced to whisky only a few months ago when a friend gave me a glass of monkey shoulder. It was smooth and packed with enough flavor to interest me while not to much to overwhelm me so I got my self a bottle, for less than half the price of this. That is what an introduction to whisky should be, something not too expensive, something to peak the senses at to what whisky can involve. I tried this in the pub and I can honestly say if that was the first whisky I had tried I wouldn't be very captivated and I certainly wouldn't buy my self a bottle or recommend it to any one.

Entry level drinking
I can't belive that the price has any bearing on the product, it's insipid, little character, flavor, or punch. I'm halfway down the bottle and the cork just broke..had to corkscrew it out, then filter bits out. On reflection, they may have added some body that this poor imitation would have benefited from. buy 2 entry level single malts for the price of one of these and you will be much happier, and btw, who sells a scotch at this price that advertises itself as being great in a mixed drink or cocktail??
Sorry DB Epic Fail...

Not as bad as people want you to believe
Like several movies I'm told beforehand, I'll hate, same goes for this whiskey. I was expecting a drain cleaner, but got a bit bland quite neutral whiskey. It's like twilight: I don't understand the fuss in either direction. Twilight was a normal B-class teen movie. This is a normal B-class newcomer whisky.

Thank you!
...for selling this so that we all get a good laugh writing our review and reading those of others. A truly awful concoction, not a great start to day 1 of the advent calendar, although it can only get better from here!
