Tasting notes
-
Nose
Initially sweet, with barley sugar and fruit, peaty notes quickly make themselves known – bandages and bung cloth, beach bonfires and smouldering ferns. -
Palate
Rich stewed fruit and smoke at first, with chutney and honey-glazed ham. Buttered toast and honey notes slowly appear with peppery spice and chilli. Water softens the smoke, and reveals layers of orchard fruit. -
Finish
Long and peppery, with first honey then porridge appearing, while coal smoke lingers in the background.
