Nose: Soft smokiness with coal, toasted oak, honey and dried fruits. With time, unmistakable hints of heather emerge, joined by a gentle nuttiness.

Taste: Full bodied, spicy and lively. Fizzy and vibrant, with rich red berry jam and caramel adding depth and sweetness. Hints of peat smoke linger underneath.

Finish: Medium to long. The sweetness turns lighter towards the end, fruity and mild. The nuttiness from the nose returns, accompanied by delicate floral honey and milk chocolate.

Comment: Vibrant sweetness with gentle smoke.
