Nose: Lovely bright coconut macaroons, with a thin layer of dark chocolate on the bottom. Bright grassiness and warming gingery dry smoke.

Palate: Delicate desiccated coconut and then warming winter spices, stem ginger, sweet smoke and syrupy peaches and cream with digestive biscuit crunch.

Finish: The digestives and peaches and cream linger for a lovely smooth finish.

Comment: I love anything that plays in the arena of sweet and smoky, so this is right up my street and so well done.

Score: 8.3
