78 / 100
The contrast between honeyed barley and the palate’s sharp, raw edge gives this blend a more interesting shape than straightforward sweetness alone. Its light, estery character keeps things fairly delicate, while the lingering fresh, lightly smoky finish adds a bit of depth. I’m drawn to that meeting of honeyed notes and gentle smoke, though the raw edge sounds like a real reservation rather than a polished finish. A candid, approachable profile with some roughness alongside its sweeter side.
