87 / 100
A quietly appealing single malt, with a light, balanced character rather than a push for weight or intensity. Sweet malt, pear and biscuit give the palate a welcoming centre, while subtle citrus and soft oak keep it composed. The clean finish, with lingering malt sweetness and a little oak dryness, sounds like a fitting close. I’m drawn to that measured interplay: there’s enough detail to hold interest without making the whisky seem louder than it is.
