Nose
slightly more aromatic, with a nice honey coated almond sweetness in the background right from the start. Maybe a sweet buttery touch as well. Paraffin and seaweed are still here, but generally slightly more fruity. That also means even less smoke, hardly any. Quite some leathery touches.
Palate
waxy, honeyed and spicy. Pepper and herbs, a little resinous oak. The brilliance is more in the finesse than in the power. Slightly grassier towards the end.
Finish
fairly long, just a bit more herbal, with touches of burnt grass and almonds.
