Tasting Notes
Nose
The smoky notes are fragrant and delicate, like smouldering heather. Sweet almonds are also discernible. When water is added, a light linseed oil and putty scent joins the mélange.
Palate
The taste at natural strength is surprisingly sweetto start, then unusually salty, with fragrant smoke in the finish.
Finish
Robust. Water brings out a light acidity and reduces the saltiness.
