Tasting Notes - Nose	Immediately quite soft with clean, fresh notes, faint hints of milk chocolate and lemon and then developing fragrant teascented smoke alongside nose-drying, maritime aromas, with subtle cereal.
Tasting Notes - Palate	A soothing light texture, with a magnificently full-on Lagavulin taste that’s somehow even bigger than you expect; sweet, smoky and warming, with a growing, smoky pungency, then dry, with more smoke. Charred, with minty, dark chocolate. Beautifully balanced mid palate then salty, oven-charred baked potato skins and smoke. Water rounds things, the taste still mighty yet more succulent, sweeter, spicier and now tongue-tingling, mint-fresh and warming.
Tasting Notes - Finish	Lovely; clean, very long and smoky. Smooth, subtle minted smoke surrounds chocolate tannins, leaving a late drying note to emerge in time. It’s warming, soft and still smoky with water, not as long or intense now, yet still leaving the palate dry as sweet smoke lingers on the breath.
