Nose
It opens with a delicate plume of sweet smoke, accented with a brighter lemony bit of citrus, backed up by a more bready, maltiness. With time an air of meadow-y white florals come through, with also honeyed apricots and guavas, and a touch of oyster shell briny salinity.
Palate
Medium-bodied here, really firm and concentrated with a cohesive body of savoury teriyaki, sweet BBQ, just a touch ashy, with also some black tea and a green grape quality, that envelops a core of sweet honey. There's a delicate yellow floral note of chrysanthemum, with also a slight ashiness.
Finish
Lots more in the way of BBQ smoke, with also black tea and white florals coming through, here delivered over a canvas of rich and concentrated brown sugar. Long finish, with the exotic guavas really developing and intensifying, along with a delicate waft of peat.
