Nose:
Metallic and peaty, seaweed and brine painting a rustic scene, ocean waves rushing towards a bon fire built on wet sand to create a salty and ashy vibe, followed by notes of green fruits and cigarette smoke.
Palate & Finish:
Syrupy sweet with a thrilling immersion of peat and spices with pepper and sichimi and later on seaweed and brine. Only afterwards does a follow through of ripe fruits come on.
The peat continues strong into the finish with a brush of espresso.
Thoughts:
Such saltiness in a dram, powerful and relentless, and depending on your preference it may be considered exhilarating.
