91 / 100
The 60.9% ABV is a notable part of this whisky’s character on paper, though it doesn’t tell us by itself how the flavours come across. The tropical fruit is presented in especially rich, sweet forms, from pineapple cake on the nose to jammy preserves on the palate. Citrus and mild dryness in the long finish offer a welcome counterpoint to all that sweetness. It reads as a vivid, dessert-leaning profile, with enough contrast to keep it interesting.
