Sweet and balanced with rich fruitcake, tobacco ash and leather. Light and elegant with peat shining through. A lovely mouthfeel with a long finish. A fine example.

What critics and judges wrote
Whisky Advocate · Jonny McCormick · 2023
A wide spectrum of aromas keeps this intriguingly attractive … The flavors edge on the side of fresh fruit, keeping it from tasting too sweet, with orange, pear, toffee, vanilla, mocha, malt, smoke, and hints of tobacco.

Distiller · Stephanie Moreno
The whisky is medium full and soft in mouthfeel. Again the mossy peat flavors blend with the gently sweet malt. … the whisky offers a good value for a weekday dram or a mixed drink.
