Tasting notes:
Nose: Rich, fruity and sherried smokiness. A lovely balance of phenols, seaweed and light creosote, dried chilli flakes, spicy black pepper with hints of sweet oakiness.
Palate: Powerful rich, sherried, herbal smoky flavours, orange peel, coffee, a touch of sea salt, tobacco and white pepper.
Long and quite pungent finish with more smoke, a hint of liquorice and sea spray.
