• Strength: Mild to Medium

Dark Fragrant sits in the softer corner of Rattray’s range — a mild aromatic with a dark complexion and a warm, mellow character. Blended in Germany for Rattray’s of Perth, this one draws on the old house style: tasteful, unhurried, and never overdone.

The base is Dark Cavendish, steamed and pressed until jet black, supported by bright Virginia for a touch of lift. It’s been lightly topped — plum and dried fig come to mind, with a hint of clove or something similarly seasonal. Not overly flavoured, just enough to make itself known.

It burns cool and stays consistent, with no rough edges and little maintenance. A fine choice for the aromatic smoker who’s grown tired of syrupy blends, or for someone looking to ease into Cavendish without being overwhelmed.
