Hamish Says

Nose: faint smoke grows sweet with hessian and warm wood before honey-cured meats emerge with sweet mint and a citrus edge, eventually developing into cocoa, vanilla and wood smoke.

Palate: wood ash, burnt jam tarts, treacle toffee, and caramelised orange in an all-encompassing smoke.

Finish: long and cooling with toffee apple and wood smoke notes.
