Product Description

APPEARANCE

Amber

NOSE

Rich and fruity Victoria plums, greengages, perhaps dried

orange peel with some butterscotch or rum toffee and a thread of smoke behind. The smoke soon advances into the foreground and the toffee note is joined by a light mintiness. With water, those maritime characteristics emerge once again dry boat varnish, edible seaweed. Still sweet; now with notes of iodine and the smokiness of an un-struck match.

BODY

Full. Pleasant, smooth.

PALATE

Sweet in front, then more assertive, with a whiff of smoke. The overall effect is warming. The development is towards smoke, coal-tar and toffee.

FINISH

Medium length. The characteristic chilli ‘catch’ in the finish is subtly present in the aftertaste.
