Nose
Back to the laundry basket. Smoke again. Oysters,fresh mushroom and lemon.
Palate
Broad and smoky,almost into smoked haddock (yella fush) then nuts and a hint of coal. Teasing white pepper and dried fruit Fragrant yet weighty. Good balance.
Finish
Long gently smoked with raisin.
Comment
Fantastic balance and richness of character.

Nose
Smoke is less intense than the last one. Fully of burnt orange and a sort of fresh fish smell.
Palate
That smoke note develops into hot smoked salmon,sweet and oily. Some dried fruit in there as well.
Finish
Just keeps on giving.
Comment
A wonderful marriage of peat and sherry, perfect harmony.
