Online tasting notes from Master of Malt for reference:

Nose:
Cladah opens with rich, dark fruits, distant bonfire smoke, petrichor, and leafy pine, before seaweed, salted caramel, and orange oil come through. Lemon drizzle cake and an aromatic fresh air note lift proceedings.

Palate:
Both sweeter and smokier on the palate with wood smoke, blackberry, stewed apple, and hard toffee. Liquorice Allsorts, honeycomb and a dash of mint keep it lively.

Finish:
Gently drying with dark chocolate and more of that smoke, dried orange peel and a dash of vanilla.

Overall:
The coast in a glass. And it really is lovely.
