Nose

Immediate robust peatiness: tar, creosote, spent barbecue, sand dunes, tarry twine and a smokehouse jammed full of herring.

Palate

Everything the nose suggests but water dissipates its flavours rather than bringing them out, showing a lack of mid-palate richness.

Finish

Rooty, smoky with some nice oily qualities.

Comment

The name says it all. Big and bold but it's all smoke and no trousers.
