Color: Golden gold.
Aroma: A bold burst of salty peat smoke, accompanied by intense minerality and maritime accents. Vibrant citrus notes follow, layered over a backdrop of ash and barbecue, with smoked plums and dark chocolate adding delightful complexity.
Taste: Surprisingly sweet and smooth at first, with hints of salted caramel and toffee balanced by a light oiliness. Smoked plums, raisins, and candied cherries emerge, complemented by notes of charcoal and burnt wood reminiscent of a roaring campfire.
Finish: Long and enveloping, with the return of peat smoke blending with dried fruit and caramel. The maritime character and minerality linger, leaving a warm, spicy memory on the lips.
