Nose
Smoky bonfires, wet wool, mineral oil, and wax, with herbal, grassy, and creamy malt notes. Hints of earthy heather, thyme, rosemary, and orchard fruits like blossom and oak, alongside a honeyed sweetness.
Palate
Smooth and mildly sweet with good acidity and sea salt. Flavors of big, refined sweetness, leafy notes, well-integrated oak, smoke, oily peat, and barley. Seaside notes of salt and brine, with an intense waft of smoke and peat, complemented by apples, pears, orange marmalade, and light citrus.
Finish
Lingering, charred, and slightly sour, with herbal notes, gentle smoke, soft peat, and oily wood. Hints of black pepper, honey, and a briny saltiness, concluding with a gentle hint of vanilla.
