My Tasting Notes:
Colour: Dark gold
Nose: Burnt down bonfire, smoked ham, lemonized sea air.
Palate: Rather peaty, breakfast bacon, citrus fruit, cloves, nutmeg, a pinch of salt.
Finish: Very long and smoky.
Overall: This is a most enjoyable expression. Quite strong but not overwhelming peat combined with a nice fruitiness, rounded off with gentle spices.
