85 / 100
Peat takes the lead here, but the nose sounds measured at first, with mellow peat becoming more powerful over time. On the palate, peat and smoke sit alongside spices, with the notes describing a balanced attack rather than one element running away with it. That progression gives this blended whisky a clear, more savoury direction; the long, silky finish rounds out a firmly characterful profile.
