Nose
Smoky peat and sweet vanilla aromas, with notes of soft toffee, gooseberry, grape juice, apple cider, seaweed, hay, leather briefcase, sea brine, and pickled herring.
Palate
An instant warming tang of smoke fades into smooth floral scents, blending seamlessly into an oaky nuttiness, with flavours of spicy cinnamon, freshly baked apple tart, sweet chocolate smoothness, rich toffee, and a delicate hint of heather and peat smoke.
Finish
Full bodied, long with a luxurious oily smoothness, vanilla and wood spice, leading to a few tannin notes and a lasting peaty finish, with hints of buttered asparagus and cherry cough drops.
