86 / 100
The appeal here is the contrast between heather and honey with gentle smokiness, followed by a smoother, sweeter palate of caramel and vanilla with discreet peat. That keeps the sweeter side from becoming the whole story. The finish brings in sweet oak and a hint of spice, described as long-lasting and warming. For an enthusiast who enjoys a clear, approachable contrast, this looks appealing.
