rainy_socks9 OctThere’s a savoury centre here: oily smoke, earthiness and salt-cured meat, with honey-roast parsnips offering a gentler counterpoint. The palate carries that through with barbecue-smoked, honey-glazed ham and earthy peat. I like the shift on the finish toward lemon citrus and paprika, with charred oak adding another edge. It sounds like a direct, smoky take on peated malt, but those contrasting notes give it more to explore than smoke alone.
The smoky, earthy character sounds quite direct, with salt-cured meat and honey roast parsnips on the nose, then barbecue-smoked ham and peat on the palate. Lemon, paprika and charred oak give the finish a more focused edge. There is enough contrast here to hold my interest, though the character seems firmly smoke-led.
