While the smoke is always discernible on the nose it is dry and earthy in its style, allowing the oak to come forward with waves of golden caramel, fudge, vanilla custard, hints of ginger, nutmeg and clove. There is citrus fruit, coaxed from the glass with a drop of water, gentle lemon meringue and clementine. Breathe deeply and the floral aromas of wild thyme, heather and sea pink transport you to the Atlantic coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate: On the palate there is a noticeable delicacy and softness in texture and style.

Smoky, sure, but with the soft sweetness of fudge and malted barley. Orange, mango and banoffee pie signal the depth and quality of the oak. The many layers interchange on each sip.
