90pts ScotchWhisky.com:

Nose: Round and gentle with ripe pear, flaky pastry, cold butter, old-fashioned lemonade, and light ginger accompanied by a touch of discreet oak. It’s all brioche, white chocolate, and orange Starburst which then gives way to light oak. There are subtle complexities at work here. With water, there’s pastéis de nata, and frangipane tart, while the pear and melon reappear. Just lovely.

Palate: A sweet start with Danish pastry glazed with honey, then dusted with cinnamon and allspice, with an added herbal element and some pineapple kicking in on the back palate.

Finish: Fading into nutmeg and dry spices.

Conclusion: Mellow and hugely drinkable. There ain’t a lot, so get cracking."
