Score: 92 Points

This 4-year-old Scottish rye whisky was finished in French Armagnac casks, and the nose is subtle with touches of dried flowers, peaches, pear candies, honey, and vanilla. The taste is fruity and floral with a slow onset of baking spices and notes of pear candies, honey, and vanilla. The finish is medium-length with lingering spices. (September, 2024)
