Bright peaty smoke, mellow chocolate note, lemon

About as smoky as it gets! Not a fan!

Some mild vanilla notes on the nose. Leather on the backend of the palate. A nice amount of peat. A bit of wood.

Very pale, almost clear. Looks like a pale white wine. Smells like smoke, barbecue, ashes, cigarillo, alcohol, burning wood, cooled charcoal, lemon zest, woman perfume, a touch of sea, burning dry herbs and prosciutto. In mouth the sea is more prominent. Tastes like seaweed, sea water, burning charcoal, smoking dry herbs, lemon meringue, tobacco, ashes. Mouthfeel is creamy and hot. There's some freshness in the aftertaste, like white flowers. Smoke lasts forever.
