Nose
The nose starts with a burst of vanilla and coconut, pursued by salted nuts and seaweed.
Palate
The palate is sweet and salty, with notes of coffee and wild strawberries, and a long, surprisingly dry finish. Water brings up waxy and fine leather, carried on a wave of sea salt.
Finish
The finish is long and warming, with hints of oily, sugary sweetness and spicy oak, with a lingering smoky aftertaste.
