The color in the glass is clear, limpid, of a delicious straw yellow (with the omnipresent, and in this case incomprehensible, caramel coloring).
On the nose the gradation is well present, although not high, but after a short ventilation the fruity hints arrive, with vanilla, citrus fruits, dried fruit and a pinch of salinity: not like an Islay whisky, but the position on the coast gives its contribution. Hints of peat and a pinch of waxiness.
In the mouth it is compact, elegant, after the initial onslaught of alcohol (which at 46 ° is not exactly a plus), the sweet and salty notes return, a pleasantly velvety and waxy consistency, caramel (not the one used to color it! ) and still the smoke, always light but present. The more you wait to drink it, the more different sensations overlap, a constant and silky evolution, very pleasant.
In the end, the marine note tends to prevail, accompanied by fruity and light (very light) peat hints, which accompany the palate for a not particularly long time.
