88 / 100
The smoke here is a small detail, not the main event: the palate notes delicate wafts of smoke alongside waxy lemons, honey and gentle spice. That sits well with the citrus and wax running through the nose and finish. It’s marked unpeated, so I wouldn’t read this as a peat-led dram; the documented smoke is still worth noting, but it stays in the background. The floral, salty finish sounds like a nice counterpoint.
