Tasting Notes
"Salty buttered pastry, kelp, grapefruit, orange peel and briny smoke fill the nose. The palate takes on richer flavors of dark chocolate, salted caramel, hazelnuts, cappuccino and fresh red apples. Funky textures of buttered movie popcorn, balsamic vinegar and flamed citrus peel add to the briny, peaty characters of the midpalate, leading to a salty-sweet, smoky finish that goes a bit hot. The overall flavor effect is that of eating buttery, salty pastries with lemon curd near a beach bonfire. "
