83 / 100
Diageo loves a shiny tube, but at 55% ABV, this actually has the cask strength muscle to back it up. It is a direct, spice-forward Highland malt that swaps the usual Singleton softness for a bit of actual character. Good oak grip and plenty of ginger, though it still feels like a very safe choice for a special release.
