Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

The nose is sharp with cutting vegetal oils, and grassy notes, accompanied by hints of lemon, camphor, and eucalyptus. Subtle fruity and honeyed tones emerge over time, showcasing finesse. On the palate, warming but also chewy and sweet. Offering flavours of citrus, and a moderate peatiness with a touch of salt. The finish is long, slightly bittersweet, featuring sweet peat, wood, and a hint of coffee and liquorice.
