Nose
A harmonious blend of slightly dirty smoke, spicy black pepper, and sherried sweetness. Maritime notes emerge, accompanied by hints of chocolate, malt, heather, and a subtle meaty BBQ char. Over time, nuances of strawberry develop.
Palate

Finish
Long and sweet, with lingering notes of tobacco, sherry, and a medicinal quality.
