88 / 100
The documented notes lean into sultanas, treacle and sun-dried figs, with gentle spice giving the nose some lift. On the palate, dry fruits and warming spices meet vanilla, a useful contrast that keeps the character from reading as fruit alone. The finish is described as long and warming, with a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. At 60.9% and labelled cask strength, this is a high-strength release, and the notes give a clear sense of its fruit-and-spice direction.
