- Intensely mineral character, accompanied by subtle hints of oil and coal. Faint undertones of grass and cider apples.

- Robust initial impression with prominent smoky, sooty, and salty notes. Light touches of tangerines and pepper.
- Finish
- Brief yet clean, with subtle sweet notes reminiscent of 1980s distillation, albeit somewhat subdued.
