Nose
Buttery and fruity with almond nuttiness, sherry, sweet seaweed, wax polish, camphor, carbolic, and scented smoke. Notes of savoury sweetness, ham crisps, peat, apricots, dates, and a hint of swimming pools. Marine and fresh air with traces of iodine.
Palate
Sweet start with a big blast of peat smoke, creosote-like smoke, vanilla, and linseed oil. Savoury notes of bacon, ham, herbs, and a slight hint of Thai spices, balanced with creamy sweetness. Peat smoke mixes with sweet fruit accents, caramel cookies, pears, green apple, vanilla, cinnamon, orange peel, and smoked meat.
Finish
Lingering and long sweetness with a slight sourness, vanilla creaminess, and apricot. Smoky, salty coal tar finish with a full-bodied aftertaste.
