- Nose
- Sweet, earthy peat. A touch of salt or brine with mild, underlying lemon. Faint, occasional vanilla. Coastal character flourishes with time. Fresh, herbal. Rubbed peppermint leaves, stemmy, damp grass, smoky. Oily, cigar leaves, smoked ham, hickory. Lemon peels at the harbour. Gentle peat smoke, sea spray, green apple, lemon zest, and light honey.
- Palate
- Green apple, smoke, and honey. Nicely integrated salt component strongly complements the core flavors. Smoked pork loin or chop with a discrete dose of pepper and lemon. Chocolate on the back. Good body, oily, tar, elegant smoke. Hints of boiled sweets. Medium-bodied with briny smoke, citrus oil, dried herbs, and soft malt sweetness.
- Finish
- Smoke and citrus elements stand strong. I begin to get either apple or pear. Long, peppery, spicy warmth, smoke. Long and warming with peppery spice, soft ash, and lingering coastal freshness. Sweet smokiness in the lingering, slightly sour finish.
