84 / 100
They call this 'Flowers & Light' but at 62.5% ABV, it packs more of a wallop than the name suggests. It is a proper cask strength Speysider that refuses to be ignored. The heat is significant but the oak grip and dark malt notes keep it grounded. It is a solid, direct dram for those who actually like their whisky to put up a bit of a fight.
