86 / 100
The unpeated label is a useful style cue, but I wouldn’t treat it on its own as a firm measure of smoke. What stands out in the documented notes is the contrast between cherries and baked apples and the darker chocolate, tobacco and spice. The palate is described as dry and creamy, which sounds like an appealing counterpoint, while mint and ginger add a brighter edge. The medium-long finish keeps to nutty notes, wood spice and lingering fruit. There’s plenty to explore here without needing smoke to be the main event.
