Customer feedback is largely favourable about the peaty flavour, bonfire and cinder toffee aroma, smoothness and enjoyment. Some appreciate its complexity, while others feel it lacks sophistication. For buyers choosing by flavour, those contrasting impressions suggest a smoky, characterful style that may not suit anyone seeking a more subtle or refined profile. The overall rating distribution is mostly five-star, but ratings alone do not explain individual preferences.
