80
- Nose
- Mature. Light leather and maltiness. In time, violet then a shift to vanilla, brazil nut, polished oak. Light smoke.
- Palate
- An oily start, creosote but with a balancing crisp nuttiness. A slow, peaty fog then tobacco and the cinders of a woodland bonfire. Water brings out damp mash, lanolin, heather and a briny note.
- Finish
- Long, perfumed, salty.
- Comment
- Has richness and some finesse.
82
- Nose
- A handful of lightly peated barley, tea tree and a musky, perfumed element. Band Aids. A creaminess, like a creamy coffee. Crème de dulce.
- Palate
- Forest fruits and charcoal, with bonfire smoke.
- Finish
- A little more smoke fading to burnt sage.
- Comment
- A good complex mix of floral flavours, fruit and smoke.
