Nose

Big. Savoury. Black olive, bung cloth, bay leaf, and a little smoke. Lightly waxed notes mixing with coconut, trifle sponge, malt and sweet dried fruits. Substantial and complex.

Palate

Enjoyably thick and chewy palate with big, upfront flavours allowing the smoke to slide underneath. Good grip.

Finish

Slightly briny.

Comment

There's an uncompromising feral power to this. Magnificent.
