SMWS Panel Notes

We found this one immediately bright and smoky, with a chiselled, bone-dry peat profile. There was also a wonderful coastal edge that brought persistent freshness, brittle smoke, bubble gum, aniseed distillate and bath salts. We all really enjoyed this one! With water it maintained this sharp and salty balance, but added in notes of salted peanuts, seawater, grapefruit and charred pineapple.

The palate neat was superbly clean, sharp and pristinely peaty, with a big streak of medicine in the form of bandages and ointments. With water it got surprisingly waxier in texture, along with a ‘farmier’ profile and a broader, richer peat flavour. We noted camphor, lanolin, pickling brine and malt vinegar.
