Tasting Notes
Colour
Burnished copper amber with rich mahogany undertones and a glossy honey-gold glow.
Nose
Orange zest and warm cloves soften a peat-smoked core, while charcoal and tarry rope notes lend an extra layer of rugged, maritime depth.
Palate
Smoked bacon forms the core, brightened by chilli and ginger and seasoned with cumin. Savory and meaty, it unfolds with peppercorns and lapsang souchong, delivering a bold, persistent smoky vitality on the palate.
Finish
An enduring, peaty finish: charcoal and smoke fade into savoury meatiness, peppery spice and lapsang souchong. A thread of orange zest and cloves flickers, with a gentle sherry-softened sweetness lingering as a warm, resinous sigh.
