Nose
Peat smoke and maritime iodine lead with a crisp sea-salt breeze, dried citrus, fig, raisin, vanilla, and cocoa.
Palate
Coastal peat and elegant smoke envelop dried fruit, cocoa, and orange peel, balanced by malt sweetness, maritime salt, and subtle spice.
Finish
Coastal peat and brine linger with rich fig, cocoa, orange zest, mineral bite, toasted oak, leather, and smoke.
