Tasting Notes
"Salty sea air pairs with oyster brine and iodine on the nose, with simmering campfire, asphalt, and canned pineapples and peaches in syrup. The phenolics show heavier on a dry palate, with burnt rubber, cigar ash, and menthol in front of lighter background notes of vanilla and coconut. The finish is lengthy and smoky, with dried peat, wet soil, astringent oak, leather, black pepper, and charbroiled meats."
