On the nose is thick smoke, rich dark caramel, milk chocolate, candied orange peel, vanilla cake and fresh baked lemon tarts. - To the palate it is rich, velvety and warming with flavours of soft fruit, billowing smoke, sea breeze, sweet oak, vanilla fudge, marzipan with a hint of honey dew melon, floral barley and licorice. - In the finish it’s has a dry, slightly medicinal, smoky peat lingering long with oak and sweet mint with a hint of green moss. — With water added, the nose becomes a touch lighter with sponge toffee notes. More intense on the palate with salted licorice and sweet oak sugar. The finish becomes numbing with a coating of smoke and a slight medicinal note. —//— Malt Mark: 95
