Tasting Notes

Nose

Charred, smoky notes: smoked meat, hot dry bracken, redcurrant and haddock. Sweet lift.

Palate

Good attack. The sweet fruit sits on the tongue, the smoke hanging above. A hint of berry fruits before the smoky bacon returns.

Finish

Long. Smokehouse. Subtle sweetness.

Comment

This works. The Port gives a new spin to the distillery character without swamping it.
