88 / 100
This reads as a warm, rounded Highland malt, with marmalade and ripe barley giving the vanilla and oak a lively edge. On the palate, buttery grain, brown cane sugar and ginger sound comfortably generous. The soft spice, mild honey and vanilla sweetness in the finish keep the character inviting. A long finish adds presence, while the sweet grain notes make the overall style feel approachable.
