Tasting Notes:

Nose: Sweet peat, coal, Caramac bars, a faint floral soapy note, pepper and chilli.

Palate: Very soft, mellow entry, then the spices and peat come through in a big way. Powerful, but with a balancing sweetness.? Great length.

Finish: Long and warming, with the smoke and pepper lasting longest.

Comment:?It’s easy to see why this is so popular?? spicy, sweet, and above all, smoky.? A great dram, well balanced, and with a lot going on.

Awards:
