85 / 100
I like the contrast in the description: peat and wood smoke lead, then gentle sweetness and spice soften the picture. Oak is the open question for me. Wood smoke is clearly noted, but it doesn’t by itself establish a distinct oak character, so I wouldn’t read this as an oak-led whisky. The long, warming finish sounds like a satisfying close to that shift.
