Glen Deveron 10yo

A lesson to be learned here
Picked it up after a visit to the Aberfeldy distillery in the distillery shop. I was disappointed by the samples of the Aberfeldy 12 and Dewars' White label they were offering at the end of the door when I came across this fellow, never saw the bottle before, nice and sleek design of the packaging. At the time the Glen Deveron was still a rather mysterious malt in Belgium, whereas today, two years later every convenience store seems to have it on its shelf. The disappointment after buying this bottle was so big that I changed my ways and decided to never buy another whole bottle again before trying a few samples first.
The Whisky
Bottled at only 40%, do not add water to this one
Colour: A nice golden dram
Nose: Citrus, cereals, whiffs of oak wood shaving, a bit floral and light scents of vanilla. Not a strong nose.
Taste: Oak, cereal notes, a whiff of orange.
Finish: Wait what finish? The only thing I get out of this is a short and sharp bitter end.
