88 / 100
The citrus-led character sounds lively without losing its softer side: lemon and orange peel meet vanilla, honey and cereal, then the palate brings in sweet toffee and almond. I like that balance of crisp freshness with a thick mouthfeel; it gives the whisky a clear, approachable shape rather than making the sweetness feel one-note. Green apple, spices and a sweet, buttery finish leave plenty to follow.
