Tasting Notes

• Tasting notes from the producer

  Aroma: Toasted oak and muddy/peaty smoke, bandages. Maple syrup, fresh linen, sea shells. Evokes a memory of lying in the heather on the peat moss, the warm sun coaxing the scent from the wild flowers. The fruit is cherry, peach and mango, with crème brulee and toffee from the oak and barley.

  Taste: Initially a surprise as the stellar level of peat is bitter and overwhelming. Another sip opens up cherry and peach and toasted sweet oak, dark chocolate, boot polish and seaweed. At this level the peat is a thunder cloud, darkening the atmosphere. You can feel it in your bones.

  Finish: Complex, crème brulee with caramelised brown sugar slightly overdone. Dark plum, orange and kiwi sit well with the malted barley sweetness. The peat smoke is a tremendous presence offering roasted coffee, burnt heather and a place in your memory forever.
