Taster

Nose: Coastal but right into the sea. Seaweed, tar,iodine... Nothing is missing. The smoke rises up and releases creamy notes of toffee. Apple loft.

Palate: Voluptuously sweet with that briny dryness in the back.Hint of kippers (with a touch of butter).

Finish: Lingering,smoky.Licorice.Pepper.

Comment: Peat and iodine are not all. There's got to be texture and complexity. And this one has got it all.

Score: 9
