Tasting Notes
"The nose is floral, with violets and lavender, moving into saltwater taffy, and oyster shells coated in seawater. The palate offers toffee, fudge, and lemon peel, along with bitterness in the form of dark chocolate, coffee grounds, and wood tannins. The finish is mineral-tinged, with ocean-sprayed rocks, and offers charred oak, earthy peat, black pepper, and dried chilies. "
