Tasting Notes
Nose
A waft of aromatic wood smoke entwines herbal notes with menthol and medicinal peat. Cocoa-rich chocolate adds depth, while stewed, spiced apples lend warmth. Very upfront and savoury, with a balanced sweetness lingering elegantly.
Palate
An oily and viscous mouthfeel, with the spiced apple strudel, a waft of lemon zest, some cracked black pepper and more of the herbal, aromatic smoke. The peat is very well balanced and zingy. With the addition of water, the influence of the rum cask begins to come alive, with some barbecued sweet potato and banana, a well-rounded sweetness and a distinct molasses-led depth, coating the palate.
Finish
Long lasting and smoky, with a slight charred oak note and herbal savouriness.
