Tasting Notes
Robert KarlssonDelicious candied exotic fruits alongside a slightly laid-back peatiness. The fruit, malt and peat delivers. Yet perhaps more put-together than I expected.
Rich Howardmedium-bodied waves of peat smoke, astringent, fresh cotton balls, light clover honey, mandarin orange and a wash of underlying floral notes. the palate is sweeter than expected, with plenty of citrus and more floral notes (violet?). water accents the cotton on the nose, and then the floral notes, the fruit more on fresh apple now with just a hint of lime juice, but a gentle smokiness continues to infuse.
