The fruit comes through in a darker, sharper way here: cherry cough syrup on the nose, then lemon pepper and a lightly sweet lemonade note against thick, spicy peat. That contrast gives it more character than straightforward sweetness, while the finish leans hard into smoke, tangy zest and raw sugar. The chemical and bitter edges in the notes make this sound challenging rather than easygoing, but the fruit-and-smoke combination is compelling.
