Tasting Notes

Nose

Shy. There’s curious peat smoke, some heather and what promises to be orchard fruit later on.

Palate

Far sweeter than the nose suggests, all icing sugar and lemon sherbets at first, before a sweet wood smoke wafts gently through. It all remains rather creamy and timid until the finish…

Finish

… when things become strangely spicy and dry with that lingering smoke.

Comment

A great number to share among friends, although it could benefit from a little longer in cask.
