🌟 Independent Review Highlights

• Considered somewhat underrated; noted for its “floral, fruity, light malt with a sweet lingering finish.”

• Review scores average around the low to mid 70s (out of 100), reflecting a decent but not premium single malt.

• Collectors value early bottlings or the “Green Label” variant due to limited production and discontinuation.

🎁 Presentation & Collectibility

• Ideal For: Whisky enthusiasts seeking a lesser-known Highland/Speyside single malt; collectors of discontinued brands; those wanting a malt with history.

• Serving Suggestion: Best enjoyed neat in a tulip or Glencairn glass to appreciate the malt character. A few drops of water may open the oak and vanilla edges.

• Collectible Notes: Discontinued brand with many bottles from the 1990s, making it of interest to niche collectors. Condition, label version, and bottling year significantly affect value.
