Review and Tasting

Sampled on 01/09/2009

Appearance:

(bottle number 343 of a total production of 473 bottles.)

Aroma:

Smoky and peaty but yet strangely sweet and fruity with hints of apricot and lemon zest.

Taste:

The palate is also honeyed, almost waxy with fresh smoke from a stable fire blowing over the whole experience.

Aftertaste:

Easier than the nose might suggest.
