Tasting Notes
"The nose is bright and fruity, with tropical fruits, green melons, bubblegum, and bananas, all in front of honey, salt, smoke, and peat. The palate then immediately shifts to dry and peaty, with smoke, salt, black pepper, and oak. A lengthy, lingering finish shows big campfire smoke, peat, and asphalt. Add water to reveal more sweetness on the palate, with toffee and caramel. "
