Taster
Nose: The nose is fragrant and juicy with toffee honey, mint, kumquat, but the smoke is a little more obvious than on Robbie Dhu and there's a teasing dry heather, coconut/gorse edge.
Palate: A lovely soft start. Fruity and soft with a good crisp/cracked pepper bite.
Finish: Spicy with a touch of smoke.
Comment: If this was an actor it would be Cary Grant.
Score: 8
