Taster

Nose: Big smoke but wrapped in sharp fruits and damp cotton,like a T-shirt you have worn near a bonfire,but the day after. Very delicate floral notes,but something bracken like lurking as well.

Palate: Smoke fills the mouth but this subsides and leaves a sweet soapy\rand nutty layer.

Finish: The smoke keeps on going.

Comment: The rum seems to add fruit and a nuttiness to this great dram.

Score: 8.2
