HarbourRadio12 OctThe light, creamy feel sits nicely beside stewed apples and gentle oak spice: sweet and mellow, but not flat. A clean finish with honey and citrus gives it a little extra lift without making a fuss.

84 / 100Clean, medium-length finish; honey and light citrus peel keep it appealing.
slowtrain_notebook21 SeptThe orchard fruit and soft malt give this a clear, gentle character. Stewed apple with vanilla and oak spice sounds especially well balanced, while the clean finish keeps the impression light.
pocketkit9 SeptIts appeal lies in the contrast between soft, creamy weight and the sharper details around it. Stewed apple and vanilla sweetness give the palate an easy centre, while gentle oak spice adds definition. The clean finish brings light citrus peel and faint oak tannins, keeping the sweetness from feeling too broad. A measured, fruit-led Speyside character, with enough detail to hold attention without leaning on force.
