Nose
Lemons and bitter almonds, leading to sweeter citrus (mandarin) and a fatty element (wax candles, lightly scented). Varnish and hints of sourdough. White cedar oil. Richer and more muscular, with a warming (almost ashy) note. Faint hints of fermenting fruits and whiff of rum, as well as more oaky notes (including vanilla and floral touches) shining through. Vegetal oils. A very light acetic whiff too.
Palate
Punchy, revolving around bittersweet freshness, reminding of a gin & tonic with slices of grapefruit. Juniper berries, white pepper, lemon peels. Oily notes. Subtle grainy sweetness in the background, with hints of melon, vanilla and some solventy notes. Sweeter and spicier, with a bigger maltiness, caraway seeds and oranges in the background. More creamy vanilla. Later some leathery notes and a suggestion of peat appear.
Finish
Medium length, sweet and spicy, with nice fruits (banana perhaps) coming forward. Quite long, still spicy and oakier, with a slightly more spirity edge.
