Flavour Profile

Tasting Notes

Nose

Fair amount of earthiness initially, nice balance of oak wood and sweetened tobacco notes, floral with overtones of vanilla and lemon zest.

Palate

Earthy again – shinning through, sweet peated smoke with a slight bitter black tea note, subdued spices, cloves, quite drying with a hints of honey and vanilla.

Finish

Medium/long finish with a slight bitter end – 85% cocoa dark chocolate, quite fruity with a peppery sizzle on the tongue.

Overall

A very balanced dram, smooth and not overly peated. With only around 3,000 bottles available and at a decent price point, we highly recommended it.
