Review by Oban
- Colour
Rich gold.
- Nose
Rich peat smoke and spicy wood come quickly to the fore, backed by the sweet opulence of soft, ripe fruit: bananas, pears, plums.
- Palate
An immediate, mouth-filling sweetness balanced by an attractive smoky-malty dryness, with sea salt centre stage. A splash of water softens the spicy edges and rounds the whole.
- Finish
Long, smooth and sweet, becoming oaky-dry with slivers of dark chocolate and salted caramel.
