86 / 100
The creamy malt and biscuit notes give this a soft, rounded feel, while green apple and orange peel bring a brighter edge. I like that contrast. The finish stays sweet and malty, with gentle oak spice and a touch of almond rather than a sharper turn. It sounds like an easygoing Highland single malt with enough detail to keep the fruit and malt in balance.
