86 / 100
Its appeal lies in the contrast between soft, creamy weight and the sharper details around it. Stewed apple and vanilla sweetness give the palate an easy centre, while gentle oak spice adds definition. The clean finish brings light citrus peel and faint oak tannins, keeping the sweetness from feeling too broad. A measured, fruit-led Speyside character, with enough detail to hold attention without leaning on force.
