Notes
Smoked ham on the nose, with fresh lemon tones and just a hint of rubber. This mellows to give notes of cigar box, curing salts and just a hint of green apple peel. The palate brings lovely tarry elements and a pleasant oily mouthfeel. There is good balance between woodsmoke, lemon, brine and sweet, with gentle spice and lasting woodsmoke on the finish.

The nose kicks off like a walk through a summer garden, finished off with round of buttered granary toast with honey. The palate is big, the floral notes giving way to pears in syrup, some lightly charred oak and a touch of salt.
