I sampled King Robert's 15-year Scotch blend, and it was a significant letdown. It consisted of approximately 95% 15-year-old grain whiskey and only about 5% 15-year-old Scotch malt whiskey. The aroma was rather neutral, with just a hint of red raspberries, apples, oak, and ethanol. The initial taste was smooth, but the palate was very one-dimensional, featuring only a note of toffee and sugar. The finish was brief, with hints of cinnamon and just a trace of cocoa.
