Color: Amber gold.
Aroma: On the nose, we are greeted by initial notes of maritime peat, followed by tropical fruits, pineapple, banana, currants, and a light hint of aromatic herbs.
Palate: On the palate, there is a beautiful contrast between sweet and salty, with notes of citrus, pineapple, banana, then a nice spicy touch, ginger, chili, and finally maritime peat smoke and light bonfire ash.
Finish: Clean and sweet with notes of vanilla, ash, red fruits, and a slight caramel aftertaste.
