Nose
Subtle sea-spray and kiln smoke drift over lemon curd, vanilla pod, beeswax and a hint of coconut shavings. Notes of lychee, dried mango with cinnamon and toasted vanilla are followed by a richness of warm toffee and melted milk chocolate balanced by citrus and mint notes. The aroma evolves with time into notes of satsumas and clementines.
Palate
Silky layers of honeyed malt, citrus zest and crème brûlée glide across the tongue, followed by white-pepper warmth, toasted almond and a whisper of earthy peat. Incredibly thick with flavours of fruit syrup, chilli jam and popped buttered popcorn with peach curd on seeded toast. A light wood smoke builds with flavours of dried mint and tarragon creating more depth to the initial sweetness.
Finish
Long, poised and lightly drying—lingering salted caramel, soft oak spice and a final flourish of orchard fruit and gentle camp-fire embers. Long, lingering orange oil, more of the chilli spice with thyme and honeysuckle and a touch of peat.
