The reaction of 2-butanone with HCN yields a chiral product. What stereochemistry does the product have? Is it optically active?

I believe that this is a hyanocydrin reaction, and the C(triple bond)N will attack at the spot of the double bond O. It would be optically active b/c there will be four different substituents on that carbon.
