- Nose
- Sweet and peaty with mineral richness, honey, vanilla, and a minty overlay. Bright fruitiness of lemon and sweet ripe grapes, with rounded, mellow oak. Also notes of soft wood smoke, cinnamon, toasted oak, smoked bacon, BBQ sauce, cut grass, and tomato plant. Bright citrus, ripe apricot, dried figs, and berries with undertones of cinnamon and fresh thyme.
- Palate
- Sweet and sour initial impact with pepper and black liquorice. Mineral and slightly medicinal peat, balanced with sweetness and fruitiness (honey, vanilla, sweet grapes, lemon). Oily and rich with dry soil notes. Rich and full-bodied, with dry, earthy cinnamon stick, bitter oranges, wood smoke, and bitter oak. Delicate fruitiness underneath the smoke. Layered flavors of honeyed peach and dark chocolate, nutmeg spice, creamed texture, and candied ginger.
- Finish
- Lingering peat and oak, with fruitiness becoming riper. Campfire and fresh woodshop oakiness. Long finish with cinnamon, bitter oranges, wood smoke, earthy notes, vanilla, dark chocolate, and green herbs. Warm embrace of smoky vanilla, earthy peat, and salted caramel.
