- Nose
- Notes of vanilla, cream, and stewed pears are present, alongside earthen minerals, honey, and warm ginger. There are also hints of smoky oak, doughy malt, subtle vegetal notes, and tropical fruits like pineapple and lemon, with a sugary cleanness and a touch of mintiness.
- Palate
- The palate offers flavors of ginger, citrus, apricots, and pears, balanced with salt and smoke. It can be oak-forward, with notes of sawdust, tart fruits, honey, and pepper, evolving into a malty character. Some detect a "dirty earthy Springbank funkiness" with soot and peat, along with cherry notes, bitterness, and sourness. Other descriptions include horchata, salted caramel, coppery metal funkiness, strawberries, apples, and sweet jam.
- Finish
- The finish is medium-long with peaty notes, honey, kitchen spices, brine, smoke, and oak, often leaving a salty aftertaste. Lemon curd, cloves, waxy malt, funky oak, and fresh pepper are also noted, with a smoky, sweet, and candied sugary sweetness, sometimes with a hint of barbecue sauce.
