Spirit of Scotland by Gawith Hoggarth is a wonderfully mellow and flavourful blend, ideal for those who enjoy a touch of indulgence in their pipe. This carefully crafted mixture combines sweet Virginias, nutty Burley, and a generous portion of double-fermented Black Cavendish, all lightly topped with a smooth whisky essence.

The result is a beautifully balanced smoke with subtle notes of vanilla and caramel, bringing to mind the soft, rounded character of a fine bourbon. The sweetness is perfectly judged—never cloying—while bitterness is kept at bay, allowing the full complexity of the blend to shine through.

Visually, the tobacco is mostly dark with attractive ribbons of golden brown scattered throughout. The tin aroma is rich and inviting, offering hints of creamy caramel, smooth whisky, and touches of dried fruit. The coarse cut is slightly moist but easy to pack, light, and keep lit, delivering a consistent and satisfying smoke that leaves behind a clean, dry ash.
