Nose: smoke and salty ocean fog, dried fruit, caramelized nuts
Palate: starts with a punch of smoke and a tingle of mint/herbs that radiates as you breath in - like opening the door of a wood-fired sauna ... followed by rich malt, stone and a splash of seawater.
Finish: long and hazy
This was one that I needed to take my time with ... at first my tastebuds were confused but I learned that air and a couple of drops of water opened more and more layers ... confusion turned to intrigue and eventually delight. It was a journey but one well worth taking!
