Nose
The nose is peaty and maritime, with brine, seashells and iodine. Hidden behind the maritime notes, we can find a slight touch of citrus and apples.
Palate
The mouthfeel is slightly oily, and the arrival is smoky, like an extinguished bonfire on the beach. Smoked citrus and oranges, a pinch of pepper that adds some heat, and smoked salmon complements the smoky notes. Ginger and a bit of wood in the end.
Finish
Long with smoke, pepper, wood and aniseed. Candle put out in one blow, round of applause…
