Nose: Pungent, oily, spicy molasses notes envelop creosote and smoky herbs. Roasted apples and raisins reveal a softer underside. With water, eucalyptus and menthol appear, while fennel and pine follow.
Mouth: Surprisingly balanced, the sizzling palate leads to peat smoke, coffee gruel and currants. Sweet lemon balm mingles with smoky tangerines, followed by a lively, smoky taste.
Finish: A long, sinuous finish brings subtle notes of vanilla and smoked butter.
Nose: Smoky aromas, notes of vanilla and tropical fruit, hint of citrus
. Mouth: Powerful flavors of tobacco, caramel, flambéed banana and black pepper
Finish: Medium length, notes of dark chocolate and ash, light touch of sea salt
Nose - Intense aromas of smoked cinnamon and paprika, antique leather and saddle soap. A distant hint of a fragrant bonfire by the shores of the distillery and, finally, an unusual savoury note, like chilli-seasoned meats. A little splash of water releases some beautiful, unexpected aromas: lavender scented soap, ground white pepper, floral and herbal notes entwined. Fresh flowers mix with coriander leaves and mint.
Taste - A powerfully salty mouthfeel drifts into sweet vibes of treacle toffee, vanilla popcorn, salted fruits (peaches) with soot and tar. Again, those distinctive savoury notes of smoky BBQ, paprika and mustard spice, fading into an unexpected haze of smoked pears and apples, almost like pear cider.
Finish - Smoked paprika and bonfires with a mellow sweetness throughout.
