89 / 100
The leafy sherry character keeps this lively, while tobacco and gamey notes give it a savoury edge. The finish is the standout: long, tarry and salty, with umami notes leading into game salami and smoked paprika. That shift from sultanas and a little chocolate on the palate toward such savoury depth gives the whisky a playful turn rather than a tidy, sweet landing. There’s plenty here to keep an enthusiast curious.
