Taster

Nose: Clean, fresh, earthiness. Soft nuttiness. Slight peaty dryness.

Palate: Honeyed but lively. Sweet sherry. Rich maltiness but also well-intergrated peat-smoke dryness.

Finish: Restrained. Gentle. Gradually warming. Long. Lingering smokiness.

Comment: Leans toward peat-smoke, but beautifully composed. Luxurious. With a cigar?

Score: 8.3

Taster

Nose: A lusciously rich, complex nose with heather bell, lemon, honey, spicy sandalwood and an intriguing winey note.

Palate: Very sweet to start and holds beautifully in the mouth. Ripe and rich with a lovely mix of vanilla, heather honey and spice.

Finish: Long, rich and elegant.

Comment: So thick and honeyed you could paint it on your lover's body. A true star.

Score: 9
