86 / 100
Cherry and blackberry with chocolate ganache sounds like a good balance of fruit and darker notes. On the palate, red fruits meet roasted nuts, dark fudge and subtle spices; that shift toward richer flavours is the part I find appealing. The bottle is labelled unpeated, but that alone doesn’t settle how much smoke comes through in the flavour. Since the notes don’t describe smoke, I wouldn’t call it smoke-free. It sounds more focused on fruit and richness than on smoke.
