The nose starts with a nice vegetal smoky blast followed by blue cheese crumbles then fruits of mango, papaya and Bosc pear before transitioning to veggies of charcoal grilled portobello and fried yucca root then floral notes along with aloe vera, black pepper, clay minerality and vanilla with medium ethanol burn. The taste is a medium mouthfeel that starts with fresh lime wedge followed by moderate vegetal smoke then blue cheese crumbles, fruits of salted mango, papaya and Bosc pear before a medium spice that fades to veggies of charcoal grilled portobello and fried yucca root then floral notes along with eucalyptus, black pepper, clay minerality and soft vanilla with medium ethanol burn. The finish is long with moderate smoke coming from a fresh lit Padron cigar, flint minerals, eucalyptus, salted mango, vanilla meringue and lime. This is a very enjoyable pour that has an incredible nose that manages to perfectly balance fruits, cooked vegetables, funky cheese, florals and earthy minerality together that I could get lost smelling for hours that carries over to the taste but the balance is slightly off with a medium drying spice on the mid-palate that fades before the long-balanced finish of smoke, earthy minerality, citrus and soft vanilla that lingers for minutes. A huge thanks to @ctbeck11 for the generous sample.
