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.
