the whisky equivalent of that friend who shows up to the party with a fruit platter, a bag of sea salt caramels, and somehow still manages to steal all the attention.

Nose: Tropical fruit, honey, cereal, vanilla, and just a whisper of raspberry — it’s like a beach picnic but without the sand in your teeth.

Palate: Sweet, bourbon-kissed, with a dash of sea salt — because apparently, even whisky knows how to work a sweet-and-salty Instagram trend. A hint of cherry and red fruit just to make you feel fancy.

Overall: Smooth, welcoming, and annoyingly likeable. The kind of dram you want to roll your eyes at for being so “perfect,” but then you find yourself on dram number three wondering if you should just propose marriage. No surprise it bagged Whisky Advocate’s 2023 Whisky of the Year — it’s basically the prom queen of Highland single malts, and yes, it knows it.
