Palate: Spicy and warming with cinnamon, star anise, and a touch of licorice. Sweet notes of cooked dates, honeycomb, and dark chocolate are balanced with dried fruit, lemon zest, and a hint of saltiness from nuts and herbs.

Nose: Rich and complex, with gentle smoke, notes of apricot, raisins, dates, and stewed apple. Orange marmalade provides a citrusy freshness, while a splash of water reveals earthier nuances of mushrooms, pine needles, capers, and olives.

Finish: Long and complex, with smoky applewood, dry tobacco, wood-fire embers, and rich peat oils.

Nose: Beautiful notes of lavender, vetiver and incense candles. There's a touch of leather, a little almond and a hint of wax. A drop of water opens up the aromatic spectrum, revealing hints of wood smoke, damp peat, a hint of menthol and more old leather.

Mouth: Salty and creamy, savory, eucalyptus oil, salted caramel, smoked pecans, wood smoke, creosote and tar. There's also a background of sweetness, like smoked pear crumble and a bit of fudge.

Finish: Notes of leather, salted caramel and a refreshing menthol sensation.
