86 / 100
A 12-year-old Scottish Speyside single malt, with redcurrants and strawberries on the nose and blackberry alongside hickory and walnut on the palate. The smoked-meat note adds a savoury turn, while lingering salinity and a hint of chocolate truffle make the finish sound less straightforward than fruit alone.
