- Nose
- Woody aromas mingle with smoky peat, sweet spice and marmalade, developing into sour cherry, cocoa and sweet vanilla. The peat is quite subdued, with intense wood, toasted wholemeal bread, salted butter, redcurrant jelly, vanilla, butterscotch and hints of coconut shavings.
- Palate
- A harmonious balance between smoky and fruity notes, with nuances of vanilla and dark chocolate. Thick oily mouthfeel, gentle peat, wood and stronger spices. Intense fruitiness, bitter plain chocolate, spices, smoke, butterscotch, candied citrus fruit, tropical fruits, camphor, soft smoke and rum-soaked raisins. [cite: Home of Malts, 5, 8, 9]
- Finish
- Long-lasting and warm, with a pleasant sweetness that perfectly complements the smoky component. Woody, with dark chocolate, lingering on and on for quite a long moment. [cite: Home of Malts, 9]
