89 / 100
The lingering finish gives this a satisfying shape, with cinnamon and ginger carrying through alongside cocoa and sweet caramel. That combination of spice and darker, wood-led notes suits my preferences, while the sherry and dried-fruit character connects the finish to the palate. It sounds like a concentrated, layered single malt rather than a simple sweet dram. The source describes the finish as lingering, though it doesn’t establish a precise duration, so I’d avoid claiming more than that.
