Nose - Honey, hint of dried stone fruits, apple & pear, hint of sweet roasted nuts, vanilla
Taste - Honey, light gentle warmth, vanilla, apple/pear cider, hint of sour/fruity bitter, creamy mouthfeel
Finish - Honeyed cider, light heat, creamy mouthfeel lingers, light orchard fruit sweets taper off
Score - 74/100
Final Thoughts - So this was only a marginal improvement over their NAS "Heart of Speyside" in that it had a tiny bit more "depth" that made it feel a tiny bit older. Added a little more fruit to the nose & palate, but otherwise pretty one-dimensional. Slightly less off-putting bitter/sour but not much.

Would I specifically order it? - No
