Tasting Notes
Nose
Fragrant pine resin and woodsmoke entwine with ripe banana and pineapple, then drift to smoked apples and dry cocoa powder. Distant ginger, spiced dates and cinnamon sway into lavender-soft, floating notes.
Palate
On the palate, waves of smoke, tar and creosote cascade into a dry peppery mouthfeel. Clove, liquorice and ginger strut towards rich notes of dark chocolate and smoked vanilla.
Finish
Intense smoke, roasted coffee liqueur and a treasure trove of sweet spices come together in one deliciously complex crescendo.
