Review and Tasting


Sampled on 20/09/2013

Appearance:

Clear, bright gold.

Aroma:

Chocolate, treacle and rum ‘n’ raison ice-cream with faint new shed creosote note.

Taste:

Sweet, powerful and delicately smoked with nutty sherry influence. Water tones the sherry to leave a beautifully balanced palate.

Aftertaste:

Delightfully salty finish. Generous peat but far from being a monster.
