Appearance:

Clear, deep coppery amber.

Aroma:

Red apple, pear and chocolate with subdued peat smoke, raisons, pencil shavings and fresh grass cuttings.

Taste:

Dry cedar wood, peat and hot spice with red apple, toffee and delicate treacle sweetness. The merest splash of water releases more sweetness with raisons an caramel.

Aftertaste:

Long and spicy with lingering sherry and dry oak tannins.
