Nose: bacony smoke, a floral honey Taste: earthy up front into an ashy smoke on first taste though the ash wasn’t prominent on subsequent sips, a very subtle sweetness maybe honey Finish: very pleasant smoke, something a little floral almost a mint After reading reviews: I do get the saltiness on the taste and peppery on the finish with both intensifying over time. Reviews mention strong iodine but I get a more savory smoke than the medicinal I associate with that. Not sure what to make of the seaweed note in reviews - maybe that the combo of earth and salt I got?
