88 / 100
The appeal here is the balance between rich dried fruit and warming spice. Raisins and sultanas meet ginger syrup, then cinnamon and a little vanilla keep the palate from feeling one-note. The nose adds candied citrus and oak, while the finish returns to oak and ginger. That clear fruit-versus-spice thread makes this a warmly appealing Speyside single malt, with enough oak in the picture to give the sweeter notes some structure.
