Tasting notes：

Nose: There’s a very deep smoky note with a great greasy / farmy edge and whiffs of new inner tubes. Rich and elegant at the same time. Later there is cedar wood, wet earth and tobacco leaves, as well as some oriental herbs and a little coffee. Then fruity flashes, like cranberry and plum, as well as a faint citrusy edge. Such a great, warming character – I love this style.

Palate: Warm, ashy smoke again, with tarry elements and some medicinal notes (camphor). Some resinous touches, liquorice and a little eucalyptus. Then caramelly notes (but not in a sticky way), a hint of cocoa and hints of new tyres again. Subtle juniper for extra freshness.

Finish: Long, really nice, with more tar, sweet and sour berries, along with walnuts and a salty note.
