91 / 100
The description points to a rich, smooth whisky, with an oily, slightly waxy texture and sweetness balanced by salt, pepper and subtle smoke. The aromas sound more reserved than forceful, so the richness seems measured rather than dense. The long, sweet-smoky finish adds a clear point of appeal.
