Nose: indeed quite heavily peated. Sooty smoke, smouldering bonfires and hints of smoked meat. A few drops of motor oil. Pear drops and roasted nuts. Then slightly burnt bread crust, earthy notes, an acidic edge and hints of pumpernickel. A young but nice profile.

Mouth: deeply smoky, on burnt raisins, slight vegetal notes and a hint of dark chocolate. Hints of tobacco leaves, with a light sourness. Black peppercorns and liquorice in the background. It’s not as thick as you’d expect from Pedro Ximénez, with some of the roughness of the spirit still shining through.

Finish: medium, quickly getting thinner, on red berries, black pepper, herbal notes and leafy peat.
