Floral, gorse and pungent peat make up the first wave on the nose. Hints of tropical fruit with pineapple and some citrus.

Deep, smoky backing. Mouth starts with a soft intensity of flavours which grow and swell up washing across the palate like a breaking wave leaving behind all the flavours highlighted by seaside and pungent, deep smoky overdrive. Some dark chocolate emerges and leads into a attractive bitter/sweet finish
