Tasting Notes
"Vanilla and smoke are the two front-liners on the nose, along with a citrusy influence that tends to get stronger over time. It's briny also. The palate is even creamier and even more appetizing than the nose with lemon tart, syrupy vanilla, and oak spices. The earthiness also makes its apparition, with a nice peatiness lingering on the background, never too strong. The finish is short and peppery, with a nice maltiness in the end."
