84 / 100
At 46% ABV, this has a clear strength context without needing to make a claim about how it drinks. The notes pair aromatic smoke with ripened fruit and honeyed sweetness, then carry peat smoke and dark fruit into the finish. It sounds balanced, though the lingering smoke may take the lead.
