Nose
Some sucrosity, preserved fruits, icing sugar, a touch of fresh plaster, vanilla, and a wee touch of pineapple. Mellow and soft.
Palate
Peated Haribos, ashes and pineapple jelly, three black olives, two oysters, and more and more brine. Sweetened brine. A little rubbery liquorice, a feeling of coal tar, and the usual lemons.
Finish
Very long, always with fruity drops, and quite ashy. Barbecued marshmallows. A few aromatic herbs in the aftertaste, verbena, also green olives.
