- Nose
- Deep sherry notes mixed with heavy wood smoke. Earthy vanilla and cinnamon sticks. Cocoa nibs and coffee beans. With time leather, a pinch of salt and a hint of funkiness. Sweet dried grapes, chocolate, slightly bitter peat, wet leather, brown sugar, extinct fireplace smoke, dark berries and red fruits, smoked ham. Rich spicy sherry notes with a maritime, peaty character. [2, 4, 6]
- Palate
- Rich, sweet and oily. Peaty marzipan with a milk chocolate covering. Nuts and toasted oak. Quite malty. Sweet sugary entry, vanilla, sugared dark berries, cigarette smoke, oaky but not too much, peat and some tar. Well rounded with a wonderful balance of soft sherry notes and peat smoke. [2, 4, 6]
- Finish
- Medium to long finish. More fruity now, dried fruits, orchard fruits and some citrus. Creamy vanilla, chocolate oil, peaty honey, sweet ashes and earthy cinnamon. Brown sugar, some salt, smoke, milk chocolate, drying chewy oak, peat. [2, 6]
