- Nose
- Fresh fruits and white pepper, with brine and rock pools. Maritime overall, with smooth honey and rich red fruit tartness. Boggy notes, old leather, tobacco, peppercorns, and vanilla custard, or sweet vanilla, heather honey, fruit syrup, toasted spices, and peat smoke. [3, 4, 6, 9, 16, 28, 30, 31, 32, 34]
- Palate
- Fruit forward (ripe red apples and pears) with barley sugar. Peat is apparent, along with prickly spice and a mildly medicinal character. Richly textured with a smooth, oily mouthfeel, intense and lightly sweet, with a light saltiness, a hint of cigar-box smoke mid-palate, and a soft hit of chilli pepper. Smoky and peaty with an earthy profile, old oak, astringent black tea, and almond. [3, 4, 6, 9, 16, 28, 30, 31, 32, 34]
- Finish
- Long, with salt and black pepper. Gently drying, with honeyed sweetness alongside smokiness and light spice. Peaty with tea notes turning towards lapsong suchong, and oak becoming astringent. [3, 6, 9, 16, 28, 30, 32, 34]
