88 / 100
There’s a cheerful balance here: vanilla pod and toasted coconut meet honey-drizzled orchard fruits, then the palate shifts toward buttery toffee and citrus zest. The soft malted sweetness keeps the warming oak spice measured rather than dominant, while dried fruit and gentle spice carry through the long finish. That sense of restraint makes this an appealing, considered Highland single malt character, with enough contrast between the sweeter notes and the citrus to keep it engaging.
