Tasting notes：

Nose: Earthy peat with soot and tar, but also a good amount of cured meats, some smoked paprika powder and a touch of broccoli (yes, I was surprised too). There’s a thin veneer of jammy fruits, such as apricots, followed by mead, a tinge of teak wood and some distant minerals. Wonderfully delicious.

Palate: A proper oily mouthfeel with a good pinch of white pepper, some sandalwood, bung cloth and smoked barley husks. Also hints of mirabelles and apricots, as well as a honey-esque sweetness that lingers beautifully. Also oak ashes.

Finish: Long. Hints of soot and smoke. Just a touch of oak, but also a sliver of papaya.
