"Rich and creamy on the comparatively delicate, smooth nose. Soft fudge, peat smoke and cloves. The palate offres more cloves, spicy peat and a touch of iodine, lemon and steaks cooking on a barbecue. The finish is lengthy, with more medicinal notes and drying smoke."

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery highlights and a mahogany-tinged edge, glowing with sherry-inflected warmth.
Nose
Rich and creamy on a delicately smooth nose, with soft fudge, peat smoke and cloves weaving through an inviting, refined aroma.
Palate
Cloves surge through spicy peat, with a lift of lemon and a faint iodine. Grilled steak notes mingle with medicinal coastal smoke, building to a long, drying finish that lingers with peat and iodine.
Finish
An enduring finish of medicinal intensity and drying peat smoke, slowly fading to a resinous, iodine-kissed afterglow.
