88 / 100
Light smoke on the nose gives way to a more prominent smoky profile on the palate, alongside crisp iodine and sweet, jammy fruit. That change in emphasis is the point of interest here: smoke is clearly present, but it shares space with the fruit rather than defining every note. Sea-air notes, peat and oak carry into a medium-long finish. This seems a good fit for someone who wants Islay smoke with a substantial fruity counterweight.
