Nose
Early notes of pears in syrup, lemon curd and dry, ashy peat smoke are joined by under-ripe pear notes and more pungent, oily peat. Lesser notes of tobacco leaf, vanilla bean and a nice chocolate phosphate. A lemony sweetness hovers over it all.
Palate
Tinned pears and sweet lemon are joined by a nice chocolate-nut spread maltiness, which is in turn joined by the dry, slightly woody, ashy peat and smoke. Towards the end just a bit of tannic spicy wood emerges with a bit of pepper and ginger. The palate has a remarkable consistency, that sweet citrusy quality rolls along throughout, being joined along the way by the peat, smoke and wood.
Finish
Sweet citrus, dry ashy peat smoke, vanilla bean, a bit of white pepper and an even smaller kiss of pickled ginger as it fades away.
