Remarkable

Taste note

  • Colour:

    Amber

  • Nose:

    Rich and fruity Victoria plums, greengages, perhaps dried orange peel with some butterscotch or rum toffee and a thread of smoke behind.

  • Palate:

    Sweet in front, then more assertive, with a whiff of smoke. The overall effect is warming. The development is towards smoke, coal-tar, and toffee. Intense layers of fruitiness and peat.

  • Finish:

    Medium length and chilli 'catch' in the finish.
