Tasting Notes

"Find an interplay of fruity notes such as coconut, with sandalwood, salt, and peaty smoke. There's a rich sweetness on the palate, with the smoke taking more of a backseat here. The smoke is really most prominent on the finish, where black pepper and a touch of sweetness also return, over a rather lengthy closing chapter. "
