Nose
Maritime peat smoke, sea salt, and lemon zest with a touch of sweetness, hints of chocolate, coffee, cedar, spices, walnuts, almond, and cinnamon.
Palate
Powerful waves of ash, charred oak, and malt balanced by vanilla and toffee, with notes of heavy smoke, cut grass, peanut, and tarred ropes.
Finish
Long, smoky, and warming with coastal brine, subtle spice, lingering ash, and a slightly drying sensation.
