Taster

Nose: Pork skewers cooked over a campfire, sweet pineapple chunks, newly laid turf, waxy almond oil and pencil eraser.

Palate: Earthy and smoked, almost leaning towards charcoal, pencil shavings and fennel. Peaches in syrup and a lot of clove spice and rich fruitcake notes.

Finish: Medium to long with lingering barbequed pork and smoked peat notes too.

Comment: A lot of complexity and delicacy in places – it’s hot and smoky.

Score: 7.9

Taster

Nose: Lots of pear drop, elderflower, Pink Lady apple and gentle woodsmoke. Delicate lemon and lime and a whiff of eucalyptus.

Palate: Light bodied and rather delicate. White grape up front, with a little peppermint and applewood-smoked Wensleydale with apricot pieces. Iced sweet vanilla bun. A little chalky toward the end.

Finish: Medium-short. The vanilla icing lingers on, as does that unusual, but pleasant, hint of chalk.

Comment: Easy going. One to convert those usually averse to peat.

Score: 7.7
