88 / 100
The character sounds invitingly focused, with waxy apple and citrus giving the fruit a clear centre. The herbal-saline note adds a drier edge, so this is not just a fruit-led whisky, while the lingering apple and citrus keep the finish connected to the nose. That balance of bright fruit and gentle savouriness makes for an appealing, composed profile. The listed 57.1% ABV suggests a robust strength, but the flavour notes themselves remain approachable in style.
