The pineapple and tropical fruit give this a bright edge, while orange zest and gentle smoke keep things lively. It sounds fruit-led, with baking spices bringing a warmer counterpoint.
toffee sweetness meets gentle smoke
SlowtrainSoda10 AprThe named American oak sherry puncheon gives a clear cask reference, while the notes bring vanilla and tropical fruit alongside lightly peated smoke. That contrast is appealing to me; the peppery heat in the finish also points to a firmer edge than the softer vanilla might suggest.
Gentle smoke and mellow vanilla make a pleasing pair.
