TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Rich muscovado sweetness, pipe smoke, christmas spice, sandalwood, orange zest, baked apples, chocolate orange, sweet tobacco, rounded, linseed and earthy.
PALATE
Initially intense molasses sweetness, as it warms a dry peat smoke takes over. Pipe ash , raisins and sultanas boiled with nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. Then toffee apples, a toasted, drying oak and tobacco and leather and yet a freshness – a brisk hint of pine and blood oranges even sweet grapefruit.
FINISH
The sweet spice just melts gently way and leaves a comforting dried fruit and peat fire warmth.
