Tasting Notes
"The nose is like a sticky toffee pudding baked seaside — milk chocolate, honey, vanilla, dried fruits, and salty ocean breezes next to a roaring fire. The palate gets a bit meatier, with flavors of smoky bacon, dates, dried figs, dried cherries, orange zest, chocolate, and salted marcona almonds. A fun swath of savory thyme, kelp and rosemary mingle with the somewhat subdued briny smokiness that curls around the other flavors. The finish is clean, with just a slight heat and a satisfying, salty-smoky-sweetness. "
