Nose
A gentle, aromatic start with peach candy, linseed oil and silver polish, fennel seeds and soft menthol. Some lime blossom, a hint of white pepper and soft beeswax, or waxed paper. Underneath there is a subtle umami note, almost meaty, even though the ensemble is rather fragile. Then some faded potpourri, high quality oak and a coastal edge.
Palate
The wood is undeniable – sappy, slightly resinous oak. Also this peculiar mix of tobacco leaves and light marihuana. Still honey and apple juice. Orange peel. Yellow raisins. A slight coastal tang. Cinnamon.
Finish
Long, dry, on ginger, aniseed, orange peel and oak.
