Hamish Says
Nose: lemon zest and vanilla are on the forefront, but eventually mellow to allow a burst of floral intensity, juicy pears and peaches to take control.
Palate: rich with dried sultanas, warm smoke with a honey-like sweetness.
Finish: strong notes of cracked pepper, sea salt and coatings of citrus that eventually fade and give way to a long-lasting flavour of peat smoke.
