The nose starts with lightly smoked salmon topped with a squeeze of lemon and lime juice then dark chocolate covered sea salt caramels and espresso followed by caramelized mangoes, mildly sour pineapple and kiwi that transitions to sandalwood, ginger and polished oak with low ethanol burn. The taste is a medium mouthfeel starting with creamy tropical fruits before a moderate spice that slowly fades to charred vegetation, dark chocolate covered caramels and espresso then mildly soured fruits of pineapple, apricots and lychee that transitions to moderate baking spices, sandalwood and mildly bitter black tea with low ethanol burn. The finish is medium length starting with creamy tropical fruits that fade to the background of a mild ashy smoke, dark chocolate and black tea. Overall, an enjoyable albeit slightly underwhelming dram that the smoke is subtle with a balance of creamy fruits and mild spices on the nose that fails to deliver the same balance on the palate with the smoke becoming more dominant with a charred vegetal bitterness that overpowers the fruits before the finish that starts promising with creamy fruits before mild bitter smoky ash and over-steeped tea take hold. This was the 2022 release, so I'm not sure if the quality is different compared to older releases, but at around $175+ if you can find them, I'd pass on this one as there are many drams I like far more for less.
