Color: Gold.
Aroma: The peat notes blend with barley malt, white pepper, and charred wood, accompanied by a maritime salinity, somewhere between olive brine and hints of seaweed. Sulphury nuances emerge alongside fruit, with a touch of ripe red berries and sweet tobacco.
Palate: Nicely oily, with salted caramel and tropical fruit (papaya) interwoven with medicinal notes and dark chocolate. The smoke is present but well integrated, showing hints of ash, pepper, and dry tannins.
Finish: Fairly long, with notes of bitter chocolate, tobacco, barley malt, and lemon, leading into a sulphury aftertaste and hints of sweet malt.
