88 / 100
Smoke is plainly central here, with wet campfire on the nose and prominent peat on the palate. The sweeter details matter too: smoked maple syrup and fruit lead into smoky chocolate, then a drying finish with black fruit and charred oak. That contrast gives the peat more to work with than smoke alone. For someone who enjoys peat, this looks like a characterful option, though the smoke is clearly a defining feature.
