TASTING NOTES
APPEARANCE
Honey-Gold with Red Hues
NOSE
Fragrant, aromatic wood smoke alongside ripe dark berries—like dark cherries and blackberries—complemented by warming sweet spice, black pepper, and a rich vanilla underpinning.
TASTE
A delicate blend of fragrant peat and rich dark fruit (apricot, blackcurrant, and hints of plum). This is supported by notes of honeycomb, butterscotch, and lemon cheesecake, ending with a warm, spicy cinnamon kick.
FINISH
Medium length and peppery with a slight tingle. It rounds out with a distinctive menthol freshness, sandalwood, and a delicate, lingering hint of coastal saltiness.
