Overall
Score
8.4
Nose
Smoky and intense. Good delivery of sweet peat smoke. Balanced, subtle and rounded. A fleshy smoked fish, olive oil, vegetal. Good breadth of flavour. Intriguing. Hint of coconut.
Palate
Very smoky start, then medicinal notes, then macaroon with a floral sweetness underpinning it. Lightly oily texture.
Finish
Long, smoky, peppered mackerel.
Comment
More expressive than the other peated one. Very good.
