Tasting Notes

• Nose:
  Perfumed and aromatic. Lavender leads the way, followed by hints of leather, woodsmoke, mint, and almond nuttiness.

• Palate:
  Full-bodied and oily. A salty menthol freshness mingles with woodsmoke, while layers of toffee, apple crumble, and fudge offer a sweeter balance.

• Finish:
  Long and lingering. Leather, salted caramel, and a persistent minty note leave a lasting impression.
