The pear hits the nose directly followed by a light smoke, Very round taste filled with fruits together with a small peaty flavor, Long finish with a beautiful lingering smoke,

Very nice dram. Malty with flavors of berries , chocolate and a touch of leather. I’ve had a number of bottles. Consistently fine and very drinkable. Modest price belies this tasty malt and refreshing finish. One of my “go to” drams.

Very smooth but not too light. Flavor is a bit sweet, but the complexity and smoothness is impressive at this price point. Great every day scotch.

Very good Speysider; light and fruity on the nose with a sweet, spicy palate. First impressions were not great, but this dram definitely grows on me. Very good overall.
