46% and mellow character!
At 46% ABV, this has a clear strength statement without needing a cask-strength label. Pepper and malt alongside smoke on the nose make an appealing opening, while the finish’s soft spice and delicate smoky malt suggest a more measured close. The palate is described as rich, mellow and complex, though that gives less detail about what drives its complexity. Overall, the balance sounds more interesting than sheer intensity.
Pepper and smoke give this a lively edge, while the palate is described as rich and mellow. Soft spice and warm oak carry through to delicate smoky malt on the finish. That sounds nicely balanced rather than too forceful.
