Snippet - Medicinal and meaty Peat fire embers and smoked ham Thick, honeyed and intriguing
Tasting notes...
Colour - Mid gold.
Nose - Initially, like a doctor’s surgery in the ‘70’s – iodine, bandages, carbolic – thenmore complex, menthol and aromatic. The medicinal morphs into meaty – like a bad Tarrantino movie – old butcher’s block and heavily smoked ham. Salty. Intriguing smokiness intensifies – peat fire embers and newly snuffed out candles (with warm wax). Fresh walnuts.
Palate - Smooth, oily texture. More warming peat than medicinal now. Rich,savoury/sweet, juicy-fruit. Lush bourbon vanilla wraps around the smoke. Light spice. Hint of rubber. Caraway seed. Smoked German sausages anyone?
Finish - Great interplay of the smoky, savoury and the buttery. Rich, thick and aromatic. Long heather honey finish.
