Nose

Pungent, intense, almost balsamic. Soot/wood embers, canvas, a hint of Arbroath smokie and grassy like a peat bank. Hairy chested.

Palate

Rounded with good weight and depth. Seaweedy and lightly medicinal, hint of cattlecake. The firm centre is tempered by cooked orchard fruit.

Finish

Sweet and slightly nutty. Smoke. Oatcake.

Comment

A punchy, deep malt. Good balance.
