- Color
- Dark gold, with a slight red hue.
- Nose
- Cherries, ginger, licorice, dark caramel and spicy honey.
- Body
- Buttery soft light to medium bodied.
- Palate
- Salty and sweet, buttery. Macadamia nuts. Butterscotch or toffee, subtle. Buttery leather notes, as odd as it sounds.
- Finish
- Malty, wheat, butter. Quick finish, supplanted with pumpkin seeds. Lingering notes of oily butter.
A decent sweeter single malt, with buttery notes. Not too intimidating, but lacks the fervor of something truly special. A good day-to-day sweet Scotch.

- Reviewer
- Sebastian
- Color
- A light gold with a slightly grassy hue
- Nose
- Sweet grass, mellow citrus, crème brûlée or brown sugar, faint spring or mineral water.
- Body
- Light to medium bodied, smooth and ever-so-slightly syrupy.
- Palate
- Lightly floral with hints of grass, delicate pear, and wet wood.
- Finish
- Thick and slow degrade like molasses, taste of pralines, slightly salty (reminiscent of beaches).
A delightful oriental take on Scotch Whisky, favoring the highlights of the Speyside region, influenced by the sea. A warm and worthy, buttery contender to other Speyside malts.
