86 / 100
American and European oak is a fun cask pairing to see named, and I like the balance in the notes: sweet vanilla and citrus meet light smoke and spice, then the finish holds onto sweet smoke. The cask detail catches my interest, but I wouldn’t pin any one flavour on a particular oak here. Overall, this reads as a gently smoky Highland Park with enough sweetness to keep things easygoing.
