Overall
Score
8.5
Nose
Attractive, perfumed fairly intense maritime nose: dark chocolate, orange peel, quite buttery with dry lavender-tinged smoke.
Palate
Rounded, and soft, then it dries half-way as the peaty notes (hessian, smoke) take over, then comes flowers, parma violet, rose and always those soft fruits.
Finish
Nut and fragrant smoke. Light touch of buttered kippers (a breakfast dram?)
Comment
Great balance between dry smoke and soft fruits.
