Overall
Score
8.4
Nose
Orange zest, ripe banana skin and coconut oil with essences of charred oak and struck matches. Finishes with hints of tobacco ash and cinnamon candles.
Palate
Waves of tobacco ash and the bitterness of the pith from an orange peel, followed by hot apple crumble, double cream and rock salt flakes.
Finish
A creamy sweetness to begin with but the ash smoke overpowers it.
Comment
Smoky goodness with a bitter-sweet finale.
