Score 93/100 · Whisky Advocate, Mar 2024
Raspberry tart, strawberries, pipe tobacco, candle wax, sweet baked apple, and orange on the nose. The palate is sweet but balanced by the oak, with more berries, savory spice, and chocolate. It’s very flavorful and completed by a long finish of red berries, well-integrated oak, and lots of spice. The sweetness is pronounced but does not go overboard, staying in balance with all else.
