Nose: Subdued, citric fruitiness; a whiff of bath oil and dentist's mouthwash. A fresh and appetising nose, with little or no trace of smoke. A little water raises almond oil and old fashioned oilskins; still a fresh fruitiness, a trace of olive oil, and after a while potpourri or scented hand-soap.
Palate: Drinks well at natural strength; sweet start; pleasant, light fragrant smokiness and a lengthy finish. Smooth, pleasant mouth-feel; with water light acidity, some salt and still the sweeter notes. A complex balance of primary tastes.
Finish: Sweet smokiness in the lingering, slightly sour finish.

Nose: A complex fusion of intense, sweet peat smoke, creamy vanilla, and dried fruits, lifted by a gentle citrus note from the sherry wood influence
Palate: The palate delivers a powerful blend of smoke and oak, featuring rich notes of dried fruit, caramel, and creamy vanilla, balanced by a sharp, spicy oak influence
Finish: The finish is exceptionally long and warming, leaving a lasting impression of lingering bonfire smoke, charred oak, and a subtle dried fruit sweetness.
