Overall
Score
8.9
Nose
Tarry with some liquorice, becoming increasingly medicinal alongside pipe smoke, smoked meats and burning yew branches.
Palate
An immediate sackful of soot, but then the layers slowly reveal themselves. A cracker.
Finish
Long smoky, slightly oily.
Comment
An excellent mix of the rich, the sweet and the smoky. Mouthfilling and complex.
