Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale gold.
Nose
Bright, fresh vanilla and lemon lead the nose, with a maritime breeze in the background. Peat remains very soft, while ash lingers generously. After a moment, salt edges in, sharpening the sea-toned character into a clean, inviting aroma.
Palate
On the palate, it is a veritable peat bomb. While again very sweet (lot and lots of vanilla), I know get a truckload of ashes and lots of smoke. Pear, lime, flowery honey and a bit of liquorice. Despite the high ABV, this goes down very easily. A peppery note offers some prickling on the tongue. This is dangerously quaffable.
Finish
The finish is quite long, with vanilla and some warm peppers at the death.
