Nose
typical honeyed notes with hay, a light waxiness of paraffin, as well as faint coastal notes like wet pebblestones. Cut apples, buttercups, heather and mossy notes. Then a buttery side as well, leading to subtle vanilla biscuits. Very mild sherry. Totally balanced and classic.
Palate
rather assertive considering the modest ABV. A mix of lime, fructose sweetness and sharper pine resin. Then mint leaves, green leafy notes and coastal peat. Mid-palate a grassy side grows stronger, bringing along some grapefruit bitterness. Herbal tea and plenty of mineral notes, with a pinch of white pepper.
Finish
medium length, slightly sharp, on herbal notes, green tea and lemon peels.
