Review
This is a lighter style of whisky that will not offend but equally does not have a lot of complexity to offer. Maybe not for special occasions but a great all rounder to share with friends. We found it easy drinking but lacking any distinctive character. Given its budget price tag it is a good entry level into Speyside style whisky. It still managed a Silver at the World Whiskies Awards in 2024 though, so easy drinking clearly counts for something.
