NOSE

Rich and meaty peat smoke with orange and lime peels, a touch of rubber and some mulchy leaves. Tar and creosote develop along with muddy peat. Iodine, menthol and new leather notes build along with gravelly minerality.

PALATE

Smoky chocolate kicks things off along with a handful of gravel. The rich and earthy notes from the nose return with lime jelly, menthol, and liquorice and blackcurrant sweets. Brown sugar and overripe banana hide underneath. With some time in the glass, pine needles and mulchy leaves develop, joined by liquorice and freshly roasted coffee beans.

FINISH

Sweet and fruity at first, with foam bananas and creamy chocolate leading to milky coffee, tar and gravel.
