84 / 100
The appeal here is the shift from juicy fruit and a light smoky hint on the nose to a fuller, buttery palate with herbs and spices. That gives the character some movement without making it feel crowded. The warming finish keeps the smoke in view, though the bitterish edge sounds less comfortable than the fruit and butter. Overall, the notes suggest a rounded whisky with a clear contrast between fruit, spice and smoke, rather than one dominant flavour.
