Tasting Notes
"A subtle brine and peat smoke intertwine with a hint of rubber and a touch of varnish. The delicate nose also has a fruitier side with apple juice and grapes. The peat smoke on the palate is very soft. There's ash and tar, as well as smoked salmon, ginger, and a thin fruity layer. The finish is soft and gentle. Medium in length."
