Score 95/100 · Whisky Advocate, Dec 2024
The smoke is aromatic and reminiscent of Islay, but with Japanese precision and balance. The aromas include green tea, lime zest, pine needles, and key lime pie. It has a brown sugar sweetness on the palate, with malt, lemon zest, gentle pepperiness, and bitter orange; the peat smoke building all the while, with hints of smoked nuts and Oreo cookies on the finish.
