Nose
some degree of fruits, now mainly ripe banana and green mango, but more on coal smoke and maritime notes again. Dried seaweed. Ashy notes with hints of walnuts, pine liqueur and a mossy hint in the back.
Palate
sweeter, creamier and quite fruity. Sweet lemons and bright oranges. Hints of honey and light pineapple. A clear bourbonny footprint. Gentle peat, herbs and briney notes showing up towards the end.
Finish
long, with maritime smoke, zesty notes and herbal tea.
