Teasing layers of peat amid ripe fruit - very fruity in fact with fig notes. The flavours come in waves of fruit, peat and gentle smoke. This malt is very deft and complex. (JM)
Clean, deeper, more intense aromas of darkly honied fruit, marzipan, smoky liquorice infused orange fruit and distant coastal bomfires ? fantastic, very complex, balanced, polished and smooth. Quite oily on the palate with liquid honey fruit followed by waves of briny peat, phenolics and tangy fruit. Sweet malt and liquorice descends into a crisp, smoky, coastal finish. Superb balance, nice sweetness, very long and harmonious.
Firm vanilla gives an oaky lead. Light and malty with lots of vanilla and a dash of honey. This is quite a light malt that appears heavier than it actually is with an almost imperceptible oiliness. (JM)
Clean, rich, fruity and very complex. Gentle peat mingles with pure apricot and mandarins in fruit juice, moist honey, gentle oak, sweet vanilla and earthy malt. Lovely balanced nose with layers of honied fruit and a granity freshness. Sweet entry with loads of soft honied fruit, gentle peat and smoke which really kicks in on the middle. Superb length with the fruit backing up the peat. Very long and harmonious with a touch of liquorice on the finish.
A lovely soft, sensuous delicately peaty nose. Sweet and soft on the palate with a gradual build up of peat along with a touch of vanilla and orange fruit. This malt has a lovely balance of bitter-sweet flavours and a long sweet, slightly creamy finish with an ever present soft smokiness.
A big, fresh, clean, spicy Oloroso nose with dried fruit,ripe dates and sweet, gently smoked malt. A magnificent palate with an intensity of Olorosos dried fruits, juicy malt and?gentle smoke. very long finish with oak coming through.
An intensely clean, nutty, malty nose with a touch of smoke and peat. In the mouth it opens with delightfully clean malt. Creamy and quite oily with lashings of vanilla and delicate gapey/ winey fruits. The peat has softened to an almost imperceptible level, but adds a deft level of complexity. Amazingly delicate but all the components, barley, vanilla and peat are in perfect balance. The finish is long, succulent and enormously complex. (JM)
