Tasting notes
Official Notes
Nose: Vanilla led with caramel and hints of smoke but tamed back. Candied apple, gooseberry and marzipan.
Palate: Soft yet powerful and warming on the palate, peppery, barley sugar, smokey – dried earth and hints of rubber. Warm sand, sweetness of charred oak and pineapple.
Finish: Sweetness from tablet/fudge and a strong peat smoke and cold marine air combination.
Colour: Pale golden.
