Nose
First light toffee, with a background of grilled pineapple. There is peat but barely perceptible even when warm. The smoke is not a theme, but used to enhance, making it extremely balanced. The result is something like milk chocolate with toasted and salty hazelnuts. Aromas of blackcurrants, peach, dried fruits, coffee notes, jasmine, tanned leather, liquorice, and peat.
Palate
Salt, then quick to toffee. Lemon cake comes, followed by mango, dark cherries, bitter dark chocolate, walnuts, oak and smoke.
Finish
A Long fruity, earthy and slightly sweet finish.
