Tastes
-
Nose - Light smoke, lots of fresh pear, malt must, salty sea air Palate - Well balanced with good treble and bass. Smokey pepper, briney, just a hint of medicinal iodine. The fresh fruit on the nose fades behind the smoke but is still there. Finish - Medium/long. Spicy toasted pepper covering up a sweet grain. Definitely opens up with a small splash. Complex but easy drinking.
