Soft vanilla and oak make this an inviting, gently smoky blend.
Oak is the stated cask type, while the notes keep their claims modest: vanilla and oak on the nose, soft vanilla on the palate, and a slightly smoky finish. That’s an appealingly tidy set of cues for a 12-year-old blended Scotch, with sweetness balanced rather than pushed. There’s no cask-finishing tale to lean on here, which suits a straightforward whisky more than an embellished one.
The soft vanilla sweetness and slightly smoky finish make for a gentle contrast. The medium-bodied, balanced palate sounds measured and easygoing, a style I can appreciate.
Soft vanilla sweetness with a faint smoky edge.
