Online tasting note for reference:

Appearance:
Deep full gold with brassy lights. Ripe corn. Goodbeading and legs. Great viscosity.

Body:
Full.

Nose:
Mild, with light prickle. The first aroma soon becomes medicinal with hints of fabric sticking-plaster, salve and iodine, backed by mineral notes of chalk and slaked lime. Salty maritime notes come forward more surely with time, and there is some familiar ham or smoky bacon at the bottom of it all.

Palate:
At natural strength, a lightly oily and smooth texture and a delightfully clean yet unexpectedly sweet initial taste, which the nose does not suggest. A shake of salt mid-palate adds balance and there is a peppery kick at the back as you swallow, as the oak spice gently makes its presence felt.

Finish:
Long, smoky and lightly drying, the smoke edged by spice with smoked meat and medicinal hints both lingering in the aftertaste.
