Review

We found this very approachable and enjoyed it alongside a smoked salmon and cheese platter. The balance of sweet fruit, honey, and subtle spice makes it a versatile dram that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of foods. It's a great introduction to single malts for those who prefer a sweeter, less peaty profile. While it may not have the complexity of some higher-end expressions, it delivers solid value and is a reliable choice for casual sipping or as a gift for those new to whisky. It picked up a Bronze at the World Whiskies Awards in 2024, which feels about right for a solid everyday dram rather than a showstopper.
