85 / 100
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.
