TASTING NOTES
Colour: Yellow Gold.Nose: Rich muscovado sweetness, pipe smoke, christmas spice, sandalwood, orange zest, baked apples, chocolate orange, sweet tobacco, rounded, linseed and earthy.
Taste: Initially intense molasses sweetness, as it warms a dry peat smoke takes over. Pipe ash, raisins and sultanas boiled with nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. Then toffee apples, a toasted, drying oak and tobacco and leather and yet a freshness – a brisk hint of pine and blood oranges even sweet grapefruit.
Finish: The sweet spice just melts gently way and leaves a comforting dried fruit and peat fire warmth
