Renata Clevenger 3.3 July 2025

The aroma is too medicinal for my liking, but the palate offers a pleasant smoke and light peat.

How the score is built

3.57 is the plain average of 7 reviews.

The 3.71 score we rank by pulls that average toward its category until enough people have weighed in, so a handful of glowing reviews cannot outrank a thousand steady ones.
