Tasting notes...
Nose - A blast of wood and peat smoke leads to sweet and fruity notes of toffee apple and milk-chocolate orange.
Palate - Intense and deep, with a rich and creamy texture backed up by creamy flavours: chocolate and vanilla. The sweetness is tempered by zesty lime and savoury peat smoke.
Finish - Long and smoky, fading to spicy vanilla.
