Tasting notes
(Scribbles)
Nose: Very savory, honeyglazed liquid bacon, ashy campfire, iodine, brine and a hint of lemon.
Mouth: Ashy tobacco, savory and meaty. Honey and a touch of vanilla. Very straightforward focus on the peat effect.
Finish: Feels like after smoking a cigarette, ashy, tobacco, brine, still savory, a metallic young note is present.
