Nose

White toast, heathery honey, rolling tobacco, and iodine. Lemon and orange sherbet. Oatcakes, toffee apples, coffee grounds, chicory and thyme.

Palate

Light-medium bodied. Herby salad and cider vinegar first, quickly capitulating to sweet peat notes, heather honey, toasted sourdough, burnt rosemary, and touch of bonfire ash. Cloudy apple juice, baked pears and a little golden syrup.

Finish

Medium-long, on bonfire ash, sourdough, and apple juice.

Comment

This sips well, but I think it also has great highball potential.
