Tasting notes
-
Nose
Burnt matches and iodine softened by lemon and orange peel, tinned fruit and maraschino cherries. Sumptuous melted caramel and ginger emerge after adding a drop of water. -
Palate
The chewy texture instantly erupts with hot peat and astringent smoke, before opening up into sea salt and cracked black pepper. Past the spice, there’s a generous helping of grapefruit marmalade spread on toasted rye bread. -
Finish
Dry finish with more citrus fruit, malted barley, tarragon and green tomatoes.
