- Nose
- Fine, airy. Both exotic (passion fruit, lychee), peaty-medicinal (camphor, balm), spicy (coriander), smoky (soot, ash), and malty, the first nose is absolutely superb in its fullness. Upon airing, lime, agave syrup, dark chocolate, and heady flowers (iris, lily) take over with full inspiration. Over time, the peat becomes more prominent and especially more salty and briny. Magnificent.
- Palate
- Sharp, lofty. On the attack, stewed fruit flavors are completely infused with earthy peat. Then, exotic fruits (papaya, passion fruit) emerge on the surface of the flavor profile. The mid-palate gives way to vegetal and herbal notes (hay, zucchini blossom, dandelion, fresh mint…). In the back palate, vanilla and strong spices (clove, ginger) signal a finish that promises to be indulgent.
- Finish
- Creamy, smooth. As expected, various pastries are offered to the taster. There's French toast, rum baba, and even a strawberry and rhubarb tartlet. Then, without warning, blocks of peat sweep through the very end of the palate.
