85 / 100
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.
