90 / 100
This 25-year-old Highland single malt brings sherry together with citrus, dark fruits and chocolate, then shifts toward treacle, raisins and baking spices. That progression gives the character some range, while the creamy barley and tangy palate keep the richer notes from being the whole story. The listed sale price of SGD 474.08 is a substantial outlay, so the decision rests on whether this sherried, oak-rich style is especially appealing; the tasting notes suggest a detailed and lingering character, but the price alone cannot establish value.
