Nose
Decidedly sour with notes of sour apple sauce, balsamic reduction, smoked meats, and heavy caramel, alongside orange zest, pineapple, and a dusty, wet gravel character.
Palate
Hot and spicy, revealing smoked fish, sweet spices, and an oily texture, with bright lemon, lime, green apple, cracked black peppercorns, and a subtle salty edge.
Finish
Strong, hot, and long, with lingering peat smoke, mocha, dark chocolate, orange marmalade, and burnt toffee.
