Tasting Notes

Nose A haunting mix of old leather, dried mango, tobacco leaf, and antique oak, with hints of sea breeze, earthy peat, and dark chocolate. Palate Incredibly refined—treacle tart, briny smoke, and dates meld with toasted walnut, gentle spice, and echoes of dunnage warehouse mustiness. Finish Long and dignified—embered peat, molasses, and seaside salt linger in perfect harmony.
