Nose
Gentle with mellow peat and honeyed sweetness, evolving into medicinal, maritime notes of seaweed, antiseptics, and menthol. Also presents lemony, fragrant, and flowery characteristics, with hints of ashy and vegetal peat, heather, lavender, and delicate smoke.
Palate
Initially soft, lemony, and oily, with smoke and earthy peat. It gains strength, revealing notes of bitter oranges and soap, alongside sweet fruits and a mild ashy peatiness. Further exploration uncovers pepper, apricots, TCP, briny notes, savory olive oil, oily barley, cereal, pears, ginger, and chocolate.
Finish
Long and warm, characterized by a persistent soapiness. The peat lingers almost endlessly, accompanied by a lasting sweetness.
