88 / 100
The fresh coastal peat smoke gives this a clear sense of place, while sweet malt and bright oak keep the nose from feeling one-note. I like the contrast on the palate: assertive peat has real presence, but Bakery Hill sweetness and American oak character bring some balance. The long, smoky finish sounds like a fitting close for a peated single malt, with enough complexity to keep the peat from being the whole story. A warmly appealing direction for anyone drawn to coastal smoke.
