Deep amber-gold with coppery shimmer and a warm honey-hued glow.
Nose
Aromas unfurl with intense peat smoke tempered by surprising delicacy. Salted caramel notes weave with honeyed melon and apricot, while chocolate and coconut drift through, anchored by a soft, earthy minerality and a lingering, smoky finish.
Palate
Intense peat sits in elegant balance, with salted caramel and honeyed melon edging apricot sweetness. Chocolate and coconut lend velvet richness, while an earthy mineral spine keeps it grounded. The smoke lingers, coastal and refined, tapering to a long, resinous finish.

Long, elegant finish of ember peat and mineral tang, slowly fading. Salted caramel sweetness lingers, joined by cocoa and coconut with apricot hints, carried by earthy minerality, and a refined, lingering smoke.
