Nose

Gammon with a crust of maple syrup and golden castor sugar. A gentle smoke of lapsang souchong tea with a slice of lemon. Warm sand and driftwood emerge with water.

Palate

Burning heathery peat and more of the lapsang souchong tea - it made me think of a brew up on a West Coast beach. Water softens the smoke and brought out warm wooden floor boards.

Finish

Robust and bracing with a dry heat and rolling smoke.

Comment

Cracking. Takes you to Islay in a heartbeat.
