Tasting Notes:

Colour: Liquid gold.

Nose: Very clean, sharply defined, stewed dark fruits with gentle spices, and a hint of background smoke.

Palate: Head-rocking hit from a complex cocktail of flavours that includes dark fudge and dried berries. A pronounced real liquorice is also present, all set against more fragrant, unobtrusive smoke.

Finish: A short, smooth, gently warming finish; think butter sprinkled with smoked paprika.
