Tasting notes：

Nose: Totally in line with expectations. Fine smoky notes in the background and yellow fruits in front row. Mainly citrus but also peach and light vanilla. Then some sunflower oil, as well as a fresh sea breeze with light chalky touches.

Palate: The island character is more robust than expected. Plenty of briny notes and earthiness, along with sharp lemon peels, peppermint and mild antiseptics. Quite vertical, with less tropical fruits than some sister casks. Light mango does appear towards the end, rounded by natural vanilla. Then balanced wood spice, generous smoky notes and herbal sharpness as it fades.

Finish: Quite long and warming, on herbal tea, citrus peels, black peppercorns and salty peat.
