Nose: Leather, peanuts, honey, cola nuts, coffee, peach jam.

Comments: 

Lovely notes of peach jam, but wreathed through with gentle smoke, so gentle it's almost like a piece of toast left a little too long in the toaster. Lots of other sweet notes, leading to a cool, slightly herbal finish. Very nice indeed.

Verdict:

I like this.
