Nose
Seaside minerality, salt cracker biscuits and then the peat. Pink grapefruit acidity and melted brown sugar sweetness. Smoked cod loin wrapped in Parma ham.
Palate
The sweetness hits first. Orange juice with a lemon citrus tang. Grapefruit acidity is there too. Then the peat unfurls – turf block fires, burning hardwood logs and fresh laid tarmac.
Finish
Long and all that peat is glorious. Smoke keeps unravelling. There’s a little liquorice too.
Comment
Like swallowing a cloud of peat smoke.
