Very peaty. Smoke, peat, earth, seaweed, dank dead plant matter, ocean air and charcoal nose with a hint of those drops they put in your ears after swimming at summer camp. Rich and earthy on the palate; charcoal, peat, smoke, earth, leather, vanilla, bandaids, oak, black pepper and toast. The finish is long, peaty, earthy and peppery. It’s not the smoothest, but it’s full in every way, and the melding of the earth and the sea seems transportive. I want to go read Conrad or Melville.
