Awards/Reviews:

Double Gold - SF World Spirits Competition 2023

93 Points - Intl Wine & Spirits Competition 2023

"A butterscotch nose with citrus fruits and an underlying vanilla sweetness. A floral palate with some light barley sugar characters and finishing well; an easy drinking and attractive malt."

94 Points, Finalist, Great Value - Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2021
"This is a delightfully rugged dram that speaks of rocky beaches and windswept fields. Brine soaked barley flavors dominate the effusive nose and are pleasantly joined by green apple and ripe pear fruits on the palate."
92 Points - Whisky Advocate
"Matured in bourbon barrels by the sea in Scotland’s Northern Highlands. Lemon peel, dried seashells, and fresh lilacs on a beautifully fragrant nose. The palate is soft and light, offering pound cake, vanilla, and a hint of spice. It fills the palate and chest with surprising power going down, all with balance and unity of flavors. Palate-coating and mouth-filling for its low ABV, it’s a delicious whisky that overdelivers on its proof."

Gold - Intl Spirits Challenge 2021

Best Buy - Wine Enthusiast

"The nose is delicate, with almonds, honey, and floral notes. Malt and toffee on the palate, with spicy oak and a hint of brine. The medium-length finish is nutty, with wood spices." - Whisky Advocate
