Pros

An outstanding example of a classic Speyside single malt, and it won’t break the bank

Serves as a calibrating whisky—the kind of spirit you pour when you’re trying to explain what single malt Scotch is (e.g., elegant, complex) and isn’t (i.e., not always a peat bomb)

Cons

For those not used to brown spirits, the barrel tannin snap on the finish may be an acquired taste (but one worth acquiring).

Tasting Notes

Color: Medium-light honey-gold

Nose: Citrus fruit, honeysuckle, and vanilla, illustrative of what a classic Speyside single malt should smell like. Do not expect peat, as that is not what this northeastern region of Scotland is known for.

Palate: Candied nuts, sweet vanilla shortbread cookies, and a hint of toffee

Finish: Sweetness that lingers on your tongue but is gently overtaken by lemon zest and the crunchy bitterness of barrel tannin, with just a hum of vanilla beneath it
