- Nose
- Pleasantly smoky, cigar-like, turning into ash with charred oak and damp earth. Clear ash notes along with maritime influences and wet, moss-covered stones. Buttery notes reminiscent of burnt toast with butter. Bourbon sweetness with vanilla and caramel, slightly burnt and salty. Creamy notes and wax. Red fruits, strawberries in ashes, canned peaches and apricots, overcooked compote fruits. Traces of cloves, lemon pepper, allspice, and slightly herbal notes.
- Palate
- Buttery notes disappear, vanilla sweetness turns into vanilla pod, and caramel is more burnt. Herbal accents, a bit of citrus and trace amounts of tropical fruits like grapefruits, lemon peels, and overcooked fruit. A bit of blackcurrant tartness, drying the palate. Later, a combination of raisin and plum notes with very dark chocolate.
- Finish
- Cigar aftertaste, dry, ashy, and earthy. Notes of oak and walnuts. Mustiness, burnt caramel, red apples in ash. Leather, salt, waxiness, and bee pollen. Spices include nutmeg, allspice, and cloves. A slightly bitter aftertaste lingers, stone-like, like walnut skin or tobacco leaves.
