Nose: Oh yeah, there's smoke... it starts with some meaty notes of biltong, developing into burnt cinnamon biscuits and more smoked salami. A touch of burnt rubber rests in the depths, but there's bakery sweetness too, it's complex and enticing.
Palate: Dense layers of peppery oak and herbaceous peat coat the palate, with earthen smoke and charcoal embers joined by singed herbs, and beneath, a touch of toasted vanilla and crumbly fudge.
Finish: Hefty oak char, meaty malt, and vegetal, pungent peat remain, with charred apricots, more vanilla, and sprinkles of white pepper and cinnamon bringing a comforting warmth.
