Nose
Peaty and slightly briny. Oily notes once more. Dry leaves lanolin mint and ginger beer. Palate
Medicinal. Chocolate orange. Smoke returns to balance things on the finish. Very interesting. Finish
Fruity and sweet. Comment
This has it all but goes about it in an unflashy manner. Good.

Nose
Sweet mint, some basil and creamy vanilla. Some cereal husk. Apples and lime and an elegant smoke. A little linseed. Palate
More sweet mint, some dark chocolate and lots of vanilla. Bright yellow vanilla ice cream. Finish
Gentle smoke and some wood-spice. Comment
Good complexity, structure and balance of smoke, spice and sweetness.
