Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery highlights.
Nose
Fragrant pine resin and woodsmoke entwine with ripe banana and pineapple, then drift to smoked apples and dry cocoa powder. Distant ginger, spiced dates and cinnamon sway into lavender-soft, floating notes.
Palate
Smoke, tar and creosote roll across the palate in a dry, peppery spine, while clove, liquorice and ginger mingle with dark chocolate and smoked vanilla.
Finish
Intense smoke lingers with roasted coffee liqueur, while a treasure trove of sweet spices builds to a deliciously complex crescendo.
