Hamish Says
Nose: bonfire smoke, boat yard, (oil and old fishing ropes), and coal tar soap; salt lemon with a honeyed sweetness, some treacle toffee and aniseed balls.
Palate: dried peat, some spices, (white pepper); it is balanced with a fruity sweetness of peaches and over ripe pears and some gentle golden syrup which weaves through it from start to end.
Finish: goes between honey and brown sugar to ash and peat smoke with a peppery touch, giving it a lovely warmth as it trails off...
