Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and bottled at a higher strength of 50%.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: Sweet peat blends with red-berry fruits and a citrus edge, alongside cured meats and a hint of paprika/chorizo spice.

Palate: Jammy red fruits (strawberry, raspberry) transition into smoked ham, cigar-tobacco and bonfire ash; oily texture develops with oak notes coming through.

Finish: Lingering peat smoke and charcoal; red-fruit syrupy notes (plum, freeze-dried strawberry) persist; medium-long finish.
