You can feel its immense power as it pours onto your palate like a violent thunderstorm. You need to brace yourself. Its natural strength is untamed and ferocious. Yet, seconds later, this beastly peaty, fiery spirit is soon soothed by the warmth of your tongue. Almost immediately a calmness, a stillness pervades as seductive notes of moist banana cake, thick treacle, and mocha with whispers of sweet pineapple, ginger and cumin finally come into play to give you an unforgettable aftertaste. Everyone has a little beast in them, this one more than most. The packaging is pretty striking too, with a scary monster and a deliberately singed label.
