Nose
leather, tarry smoke an walnut oils, wet newspapers and hints of charred parsley. Beautifully waxy and resinous smoke, along with old engine oil. Light hints of melon and mandarin in the background. Then onto embrocations, old cigars, a little nutmeg and vanilla. A subtle hint of Manzanilla Pasada.
Palate
the same kind of bygone smokiness that takes us to old car workshops and a bothy in winter. Old resins again, drops of iodine and nice hints of herbal liqueurs like Benedictine. Peated lime juice. Lightly smoked fish… on tarmac. Then more walnuts, floral honey and old mint. A subtle old bottle effect (shoe polish).
Finish
long, more mineral, with hints of black pepper, lemon balk, menthol and gentle smoke.
