81 / 100
The appeal here is the shift from sweet fruit and caramel on the nose and palate to a warmer, peppery, moderately dry finish. That gives the whisky some contrast without making the character sound especially demanding. It is a three-year-old Canadian whisky at 40%, and the listed sale reference is SGD 34.75; that is useful price context, though it does not by itself establish value. A straightforward, approachable direction, with the finish adding a little welcome edge.
