Drucquer & Sons Red Lion

Red Lion is a light-to-medium-bodied English mixture built around light yellow and red Virginia leaves, containing Cyprus latakia, toasted black cavendish and very little burley and perique. The cavendish addition gives the blend a natural caramel sweetness and softness; the latakia proportion is kept enough to show a smoky character without taking the lead. On the palate it runs smooth and balanced, with no sharp edges.
