Tasting Notes:

Nose: Delicate campfire smoke is complemented by custard pastries and almond icing. Grapefruit and tarmacadam contrast nicely, followed quickly by a squeeze of lemon juice.

Palate: Peach juice and barbecued pork rind enrich the smoky palate. Subtly emerging behind is a blackberry compote with hints of pistachio nuts and apple peels.

Finish: A shadow of petrichor remains, along with cardamom pods and delicious peat smoke.
