Nose
Flinty, mineralic peat with soft sea spray. A tropical fruit bowl follows: mangos, pineapples, orange rind. A touch of vanilla fudge here too. Then comes the medicine cabinet- iodine, slight sticking plaster- all rounded off with slightly astringent bitter-sweet oak.
Palate
Again, the flinty minerals take the limelight, before a peat depth charge explodes on the palate. Slight lemongrass here, with citrus rind, vanilla and toffee. Smoked oak, with a little honey suckle and elderflower.
Finish
A bit of chilli powder and peat, with citrus and vanilla. Long.
