Nose
Fresh, sweet peppers, floral peat and soft spices, with soot and coal smoke mixed with sea air and soaked grains. Hints of Caramac bar and smoked cereals, becoming grassy with damp earth, kippers and wet peat.
Palate
Full spice mouth with sweet caramel and elderflowers, honey, malt and white pepper with an oaky mouthfeel. Big peat presence, balanced by sweet, syrupy malt notes.
Finish
Long, peaty finish resembling a mild cigar, with spice and honey. Coastal notes like oysters, very long and warming with persistent spice, pepper and earthy peat.
