Tasting Notes

Nose: Clear, crisp lemony peat. Oily, tart, and waxy. After a rest in the glass, there might be a hint of menthol.

Palate: Wow. Meaty/chewy, with lemon rind, tart lemon meringue pie. Nearly sparkles on the tongue. Elegantly smoky, with refined clean-burning peat smoke and sea breeze.

Finish: Medium-long. Lemon continues, with roasted chestnuts and spent campfire. Fades with very little bitterness.
