Tasting Notes:
-
Aroma: A delicate yet distinct peaty aroma, reminiscent of distant bonfires and fresh forest air, intertwined with notes of ripe green apple, kiwi, herbal nuances, and a subtle sweetness of honey and vanilla.
-
Flavor: Incredibly smooth and harmonious on the palate. The elegant peat smoke is beautifully integrated, complementing rather than dominating flavors of crisp orchard fruits, refreshing mint, white pepper, and a rich, underlying maltiness. Hints of citrus zest and a gentle bitterness may also emerge.
-
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied, remarkably clean, and exceptionally well-balanced, with a silky texture that delivers a refined warmth.
-
Finish: Long, lingering, and sophisticated, with a harmonious fade of elegant peat smoke, subtle fruit sweetness, and a refreshing green crispness.
