Nose
nice hints of wet earth, fresh plaster and seashells. Some ink and ashes, subtle smoked fish. Then bandages and raw wool, along with dried herbs. Pretty classic so far, it seems the rum was more or less in the same ballpark.
Palate
same feeling of coherence, simply great. Rather dry, salty, with plenty of ashes. Increasing hints of lemons. Then also capers and wool. The coastal notes seem to be a little less prominent now – instead there are sweet herbs and a slightly greasy peaty note. Also a wee hint of coffee beans towards the end, nice.
Finish
quite long, nicely warming, with hints of oak char, brine and this subtle coffee / chocolate edge.
