88 / 100
The fruit-led nose, from banana and pineapple to green apple and apricot, has a pleasing counterpoint in honey, vanilla and butterscotch. The palate brings sweetness and spice together with fruit and oak, then carries that balance into a long, gently warming finish. For anyone checking the smoke question, this is documented as unpeated; the appeal here is firmly in the fruit, spice and oak interplay, rather than a smoke-led character.
