Nose: Full of creamy caramel. Toasted oak with spices is evident and rich and just the faintest peat has muscled its way through.
Palate: The full rich flavours burst and fill the mouth with a creamy peat tang and a touch of vanilla's soft gentleness. If a touch of water is added, then the flavours increase with the addition of a sweet ripe fruit start followed by a tang of peat.
Finish: Full, succulent and quite long. More caramel and sugary barley notes and a lanolin smoothness and more tapering smoke.

Nose: Creamy with some sherried fruit, spices, and honeyed plump fruits. Prune, custard and espresso bean.
Palate: Sweet, syrupy, with lots of fudge and vanilla, with peaches and cream and subtle oak.
Finish: Ginger, malt, nutty nougat and maybe a little grapefruit zest with a whisper of smoke.
