Nose
earthy peat with firm smoke. Leather. Some iodine. Red fruits, raisins and oranges underneath.
Palate
very intense. That means a lot of smoke and earthy peat again. Quite some honey sweetness as well, so everything stays balanced. Something lemony. Herbal hints (sweet liquorice) and sugar coated nuts. Tobacco leaves as well.
Finish
long, fairly sweet, smoky and spicy.
