Nose
Subdued, citric fruitiness, with hints of bath oil and dentist's mouthwash. Fresh, herbal notes of peppermint, damp grass, and smoky ham. Delicate wisps of peat smoke mingle with lemon peel, green apple, almonds, and sea salt.
Palate
Sweet start with a smooth, oily mouthfeel, revealing light fragrant smokiness, tar, and elegant smoke. Notes of green apple, honey, vanilla, and flaky sea salt are present, alongside spicy peat, black pepper, and citrus.
Finish
Lingering sweet smokiness, with peppery warmth and a slightly sour edge. Notes of lemon peel, driftwood, and soft ashy smoke persist, complemented by hints of wax, butter, and a soft mineral character.
