The smoke is light on the nose, giving the vanilla and white grape notes room to shine (it is almost like a smokey Burgundy). A slightly medicinal smoke really suits the waxy, salty palate – a banging, balanced dram.

A big bowl of panettone bread and butter pudding and stewed apples dusted in icing sugar. Like a warm hug on a cold day! Fruit and vanilla continue on the palate and are joined by a drying oak influence.

Slightly charred hot cross bun, slathered in melting salted butter. This gives on to some pretty perfumed fruit – lychee, Asian pear, green apple. On the palate the malty note continues, along with creamy white chocolate and floral elements.

Initial walnut notes, followed by Jasmine and vibrant fruit – pear and kumquat with fresh green notes of lemonbalm. More fruit and malty tones to the palate with white pepper in the finish.

Banana skin and fresh, woody aromas, spiced by notes of currants and nutmeg. The palate is sweet to start with spices and dried fruit characters. The finish is drying with a malt-like biscuit character, orange zest and oak.
