Nose: Intense peat smoke immediately takes charge, balanced by sweet malt and notes of wet planks. A salty seabreeze drifts through.

Taste: Full bodied with smoky depth. Dried fruits and vanilla mingle with the earthy dampness of oak, wrapped in a cloak of rich smoke.

Finish: Short finish. Dried fruits and vanilla return alongside sea salt, dry wood smoke, dark chocolate and a hint of smoked ancho chili.

Comment: Smoky power.
