87 / 100
The medium-to-long finish gives this whisky a satisfying place to linger, with spice alongside honey and caramel rather than a quick fade. Before that, the palate brings together mellow plum and red berries with treacle and cinnamon, while the woody smoky note adds a measured contrast to its sweet character. The silky texture sounds especially appealing here: it suggests a composed, easy flow through those richer flavours without obscuring the finish.
