Nose
Smoky chocolate, driftwood bonfire and medicinal notes. Black pepper and vanilla. Peaty and malty in style.
Palate
Medium body and sweetness. Very much a chocolate dominated palate as well. Chocolate with a grassy green edge to it. Vanilla and red apples. Toasted oak, and hints of peat.
Finish
Medium long. Peatier now, and a little more peppery. Hints of citrus. Medicinal notes and green herbs in the end.
