Nose: phenloic peat and some moderate smoke. Creosote. Salt Air and a substantial malt note. There's some cinnamon, and salt water drenched oak. As it opens up there is a prominently bright vanilla cream/custard, almost a crême brulee note
Palate: peat phenols hit hard, there's leather, rubber, creosote, Ash. There's a strong salinity, robust earthiness, malt sweetness initially comes out as it transitions to the finish but is more noticeable through as your palate acclimates. A moderate oak. Slight caramel and burnt sugar.
Finish: seaweed, slight oak spice. Tongue coating and drying tannins. Resolves to an earthy and ashy note
