Awards/Reviews:
95 Points - Intl Wine & Spirits Competition 2021
"Vibrant and zesty sherbet, pear drops and tropical pineapple aromas interlace on a complex palate that beautifully evolves with soft nuances of vanilla, ginger spice and succulent manuka honey."
93 Points, Top 100 Spirits, Best Buy - Wine Enthusiast
"Exclusive to the U.S. market, this single-malt Scotch bursts with baked apple, vanilla and coconut aromas, with a light brush of peat. The palate shows vanilla sweetness and mouthwatering salted caramel, finishing brisk and moderately smoky."
"An unfairly overlooked malt simply because of its (too low) price. The use of more active casks here gives an almost waxed crayon nose, along with some sweet depth. In time, there are fresh green fruits, raspberry mousse, and beautiful floral intensity. Water produces lemon. The palate is clean and quite light, but there’s a pool of fruits in the center giving a focal point." - Whisky Advocate
