Nose
Slightly dry — citrus, crisp red apple, spices, subtle fresh spearmint, the Speyside triple-malt character clean and inviting
Palate
Sweet creamy fruit — cinnamon, vanilla, a hint of green pepper, salted pretzel, slightly creamy texture with lush freshness, the bourbon cask maturation producing approachable sweetness
Finish
Short to medium — clean and lightly sweet, vanilla and soft oak fading quickly, mild cinnamon warmth, unpretentious
Expert Review
7/10Three Speyside single malts — Glenfiddich, Balvenie, and Kininvie — blended into one accessible, cocktail-friendly malt whisky. Named for the arm strain injury malt shovellers sustained turning barley by hand. Creamy, sweet, and consistent at 43%. The bartender's favourite Scotch.
