Tasting notes
Nose: Varm and sweet vegetable peat smoke with hay, honey, green grapes, green apples, yellow pears, a perfumey note on top and a funky complex note within. The moscatel finish really comes through the heavy peat.

Mouth: Fruity with a sour tang, dusty oak, malty, sweet chili, nice rounded off spicyness, the peat notes covers the mouth but let’s the other flavours shine in the middle.

Finish: Dry white wine, dry smokiness like burning yellow grass and a dusty note. The funky note makes a reappearance but leaves just as fast. The oak brings tropical fruitiness but really never takes over. There’s a slight metallic note and a peaty cover left in the mouth when the rest of the flavours fade.
