87 / 100
The fruit on the nose—melon, peach and ripe grapes—meets a more grounded palate of malty oak, biscuit and creamy citrus. Honey and toffee add sweetness, while the finish brings succulent fruit and mellow tannins to hold the structure together. That movement from ripe fruit into oak and tannin gives the notes some shape; the 59.3% strength also suggests a substantial whisky, though the description emphasizes finesse alongside its power.
