Nose
A dry sea breeze with fresh foliage, petrichor, and a lightly salty brine character. Notes of orange zest, pineapple, brittle toffee, and honey. Hints of freshly ground peppercorns, subtle herbal notes, and a touch of smoke on the beach.
Palate
Opens with blood orange and raspberry, followed by cinnamon spice, black pepper, and a smoothing nuttiness. Honey sweetness balances savory notes, with pear, melon, and apricot adding tropical lift. Salted caramel and hints of liquorice and chocolate develop with time.
Finish
Medium long, bitter-sweet, and slightly acidic, with a dry character towards the end. Lingering notes of juicy orange, sweet toasted barley, wax, salted caramel, and earthy peat, with spicy and herbaceous undertones.
