- Excerpt: It’s like the diet version of a really good Speyside and leaves me wanting more, but never quite able to find the substance I want in this glass. This is definitely a whisky that needs a higher proof and maybe even another year or two in the barrel.

- Excerpt: This is as soft and sweet a malt as you could ask for: peaches, toffee, and baked apple, with a tobacco/cedar/pine note from the oak.

- Excerpt: It's a solid baseline Speyside, not overly complex, and with an ABV that is well-suited for enjoying the whisky neat. Perfectly suited for casual sipping.

- Excerpt: The finish integrates the cinnamon with some chocolate notes, a touch of dried plum, and a hint of gingerbread. A really fine experience and, again, a pretty good bargain.

- Excerpt: It's a sweet one-hitter. It's inexpensive, nearly abundant everywhere and other than the short finish, brief stab of astringency in the palate and the general familiarity of introductory drams, it's fine.

-
Intro:
A no frill Speyside for not a lot of dollars.
-
Nose:
Pears, apples, vanilla. Faint honey, lemon and walnuts.
-
Taste:
Sweet apples, pears and lemons. Very reminiscent of a young, thin Fiddich. Sweet, light, unoffensive.
-
Finish:
Short, no burn, just sweet.
-
Overall:
It's a sweet one-hitter. It's inexpensive, nearly abundant everywhere and other than the short finish, brief stab of astringency in the palate and the general familiarity of introductory drams, it's fine. I'm giving it a 4. I'd rather have something like Balvenie 10 or 12DW but the increase in complexity, although definitely noticeable, isn't massive. A little more complexity would have easily made this a Rank 5. This is fine, but completely boring.
