Sweet peat and peanuts, much smokier than the nose; charry ashes, smoked mint toffee; gets much smokier in the palate, sweet and leathery, nutty; smoked apricot jam.

Charred paper and leather, nutty, mint toffee and roasted nuts; quite smoky.

Comment
The early nose was less smoky than later on. The palate is full on smoked nuts. A unique mix of mint/eucalyptus and smoked nuts.
