Overall
Score
8.2
Nose
Elegant, powerful and muscular. Stewed pear, cream and dried peel/orange marmalade. Great energy. All the phenolics come from the end of the pier.
Palate
Big and chewy, the smoke acting as a counterpoint to maritime/medicinal notes. Heather perfumed smoke and rich fruit in perfect balance.
Finish
Long and smoky, a touch of Germolene, then almond/cream.
Comment
The biggest and the most complex.
