Tasting Notes
Nose
Mandarin and mango rise to the fore, tempered by toasted almond and coconut. Aromatic peat oils weave through cedar, wintergreen and smoked sage.
Palate
A superbly oily mouthfeel coats the palate with bright orange peel, vanilla and coriander leaf, threaded through cedar cigar-box notes and a subtle whisper of wild root ginseng.
Finish
Long and complex with lingering pulpy stone fruit and chewy green hand-rolled tobacco.
