Black & White Blended Scotch Whisky, 43.5%

The most interesting part here is the contrast: floral, citrus and cut-grass notes sit beside light peat smoke, while the palate brings vanilla custard and cereal malt against more smoke and spice. That gives the blend both a brighter edge and a rounded, slightly oily middle. I’m more drawn to that balance than to a purely sweet style, though the medium finish sounds measured rather than especially lingering.
