86 / 100
The strongest appeal here is the meeting of dark chocolate and toffee with dried fruit and spicy oak. That gives this Lowland single malt a clearly sweet, rounded direction, while the oak brings a useful edge rather than letting the richer notes feel one-dimensional. It sounds warmly composed and approachable, though the character described is more fruit, chocolate and spice than coastal. A pleasing fit for someone drawn to layered, sweet malt.
