Tasting Notes

Nose

Not peaty, but at the same time, airs of fish brine and salt delicately combine with blackberry and allspice. Medicinal smells of band-aid are subtle and mostly overpowered by leather.

Palate

An intense cornucopia of dark treacle and smoke cover bitter cacao and blackberry ganache, which lushly coat the tongue. The palate changes to oyster shell and charcoal, with a finish of dark cherry fruit, malt and pecans.
