Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Salty spray meets peat smoke. In the background, vanilla unfolds, along with fresh fruits and gooseberries with meringue.
• Palate: Rich peat – maritime, with a salty spray. Vanilla joins in quietly, along with a lively fruit note and gooseberry in the background. Towards the end, the peat smoke prevails.
• Finish: Very long, maritime, subtly fruity and sweet, with an endless, dry peat smoke.
