Tasting Notes
"The nose is akin to a freshly charred marshmallow mixed with lemon peel. The palate has a pronounced citrus fruit quality mixing with charcoal smoke, vanilla, and graham crackers — almost like a s'more that's missing the chocolate, but spread with fruit jam instead. The finish has a medium richness, with tangy, toasty smoke. "
