86 / 100
There’s a fun balance here: full peat smoke leads, while green apple and ripe lime sit behind it, with aniseed adding a distinct sweet edge. Clove, vanilla and black currant on the nose give it another angle; the finish turns fresh and dry as the smoke softens. That feels more inviting than a one-note smoke-heavy dram, though the peat is still clearly the main event. A lively choice for someone open to peated grain whisky.
