Tasting Notes
We could smell a floral fragrant peat smoke with some marshmallow dust while we threw a couple of pinecones into the fire, closed our eyes and heard the crackling. On the palate neat a lot more earthy and spicy than what the nose suggested with stripped twigs dipped into a spicy barbeque sauce, marmite on heavily burnt toast as well as chocolate covered in ash. Following reduction a herbal, warm and inviting aroma emerged, possibly from within a pine forest by the sea, as we started a barbeque of a slow roasting beef stew and a Spanish seafood paella with all the natural sweetness and finally the added smoke flavour of grilled apple parfait.
