Tasting Notes

Nose

Manuka honey, sweet wood smoke, a herbal quality that sits somewhere between eucalyptus and tea tree. The smoke is distinctly different from peat — warmer, sweeter, more aromatic. Beneath it, vanilla and a gentle malty sweetness.

Palate

Sweet smoke and honey — the manuka character carries through from nose to palate, lending a distinctive herbal warmth. Mid-palate brings malt, toffee and a touch of black pepper. The smoke is medium-bodied, assertive without being aggressive.

Finish

Medium-long, with sweet manuka smoke lingering alongside honey and a gentle woody warmth.

Expert Review

7.8/10

Manuka wood smoke replaces peat in this distinctly Kiwi single malt — sweet, herbal and unlike any smoky Scotch.
