Rattray – Union Jack.
One of Rattray’s newer aromatic offerings. The aromatic journey begins with the aroma from the unlit blend. The addition of amaretto is unquestionable. The presentation of it’s quite coarse, there are a few twiggy pieces, albeit, nothing which needs to be discarded. This arrived with the right moisture for immediate smoking.
The smoke, as I anticipated, carries a crystal-clear amaretto taste; nutty, with the piquancy of alcohol. Of the tobaccos I find the Burley has the most magnitude, the natural nutty character intertwining perfectly with the almonds in the amaretto. The Virginia acts as the base/platform for the Burley, and the black Cavendish lends a touch of softness. The smoke, although it’s obviously flavoured, refrains from biting. It burns at an average speed, has a medium temperature, and only requires sporadic maintenance.
Nicotine: mild to medium. Room-note: nice.
