- Nose
- Equal parts extra virgin olive oil, salt water, and peat smoke. It has a lovely vegetal entry and then moves slowly into hearts of palm, some little hints of white grapes & citrus, and then builds into the smoldering salt water campfire rocks. It's very subtle though and never overwhelms, it just sits there in the nose in an immensely approachable and enjoyable way.
- Palate
- Some sweetness comes out in the palate with little lemon candies and honey. The olive oil sensation continues in flavor though the mouth feel is rather thin.
- Finish
- A very well-balanced, if slightly forgettable finish. The 46% abv choice is noticeable and so mellow it borders on weak. Mild peat smoke drifts across the nostrils and the garden theme continues with some fresh eggplant (? weird tasting note but that's what we got), florals (daisies?), and light ocean salt. It's super drinkable, that's for sure, but by no means a beastly dram.
