Nose

Remarkable; the stuff of legend. Very well focused. Wonderful grapey sultana sweetness. Clean, tempting.

Palate

Magnificent; crisp peat softens to enormous richness, then wafts around sweet, roasted malt, leaving a heathland dryness. Wood controls the pepper; luscious, slightly oily sweetness; ripe, juicy fruit.

Finish

Deep cocoa, vanilla and lingering, earthy peat. Very engaging; great sweet-dry balance, led by sweetness.
