85 / 100
Raisin and rum ice cream alongside fruit loaf and sultanas gives this a rounded, fruit-led centre, while the finish turns more savoury with cigar-box character and rock salt. That contrast is the hook: sweetness doesn’t simply carry through unchanged. The finish is described as slightly tannic, though its length isn’t specified, so I wouldn’t frame it as a long-finish whisky. It’s a distinctive set of notes, with enough contrast to keep it interesting.
