Product Details
Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep mahogany-amber with ruby-copper glints and a rich, dark edge.
Nose
Smoked hard cheese with orange peel kissed by bonfire ash, a peaty mincemeat core braided with peppery red and black berries soaked in sherry; incense wood, smoked walnuts, marmite and star anise lend savory depth to a resinous, lingering bouquet.
Palate
Peppery, tarry peat coats the palate, yielding smoked blackcurrant cordial, fruity liquorice, and soot-streaked mincemeat with mocha notes. A warm sherry glow lingers, finishing long, bold, and exquisitely smoky.
Finish
Smoked walnut whips give way to tarry, ashy peat and rich dark sherry, with incense-like spices, leathery notes, peppery mince pies, and a final kiss of smoked cheese.
