Nose: Catch a gentle oceanic salt and ozone clean zephyr as the nose opens – with its later tobacco and leather style.
Palate: Palatewise, anticipate a complex mix of sweet peat, pepper, coal dust, oak wood smoke and a late-on-the-palate chocolatey sweetness.
Finish: The long subtle finish initially reflects that dulcet, barley quality but still shows a warmingly spiced, tarred and sooted style.
