First sip is quite a bold one – that’s the smoke hitting me straightaway, a wee bit more than I expected. Then this lovely, earthy peat creeps in, like digging in a coastal garden after rain. Mmm, I’m getting these ripe pears and tart green plums, with a bit of citrusy zing. It’s quite fresh, actually. There’s a green note, almost like asparagus or freshly cut grass. It feels… complex. Like it didn’t go down the easy path. The finish is interesting – reminds me of pale white wine, some rhubarb, and fresh quinces. The maltiness is there, but it’s woven in with this surprising fresh mint. A bit of peppery ash lingers, mixed with white cherries and grapefruit. Overall, it’s a rather spicy beast! But there’s a comforting, oaty porridge-like warmth right at the end, with a hint of fresh almond. Quite the journey. 🥃
