Nose: dark dried fruit, cherry, Sherry. A little bit of black pepper, and some dark baking spices. Behind it all there is a substantial peat reek, but it is wrapped in a fruity dark candied sweetness. A hint of oak and smoke Palate: decisively fruity, earthy Sherry, a little zing of what I might classify as citrus as it transitions to the finish. Peat comes out throughout and evolves throughout. Dark sticky fruit, hints of oak and cinnamon and other baking spices. Moderate salinity that is not quite masked but balanced with the rest of the profile Finish: plums and dark cherries, phenolic peat, warming. Soft oak tannin. Salinity comes out most at the beginning of the finish
