Nose: Sweet robust peat makes a pungent first appearance before the earthy notes give way to vanilla butterscotch and crème brûlée. Fresh apricot leads to creamy fromage frais and gristy rice pudding, with bitter orange in tow.
Palate: Drying wood smoke and charred herbs, chewy peat, and the burnt edges of dark chocolate cake. A touch of tart yellow plum arrives, joined by honey-soaked figs, before prickles of pepper and sweet, milky coffee develop.
Finish: Roasted coffee beans, meaty malt, and nutty oak char bring warming, savoury spice, with lingering earthen bonfire ash.
