Rich amber. Fine beading. Good viscosity. Full-bodied. A pungent nose with clean ozone-fresh sea-air and beach seaweed backed by richer, smokier notes, sweet malt and sultana sweetness from the cask; gloriously well combined and harmonious. An oily-smooth texture, the taste at once smoky and briny yet sweet with rich fruit too, quickly growing more peppery, as woody spiciness takes a clear interest. Luxurious suggestions of roasted fig and sweet date are firmly backed throughout by peat smoke and sea-salt, and there's a smoothness to the chili 'catch' as it goes down. Long, powerful and while still sweet, now drying too, with lingering peat smoke and cocoa nibs.
