Nose : The first aromas reveal fresh, zesty citrus notes, evoking sun-ripened orange and grapefruit, intertwined with the subtle earthiness of dried hay. A hint of smoke adds depth, while delicate nuances of vanilla and clove enhance the complexity.

Palate : On the palate, a wave of sea salt and smoke surges forward, evoking the rich flavors of oily smoked mackerel. This is followed by notes of black pepper and spice, with hints of cinnamon, clove, and coriander. As the initial flavors unfold, fruity notes emerge on the finish—peach and grapefruit creating a refreshing, lingering contrast.

Overall : The finish is long and smoky, perfectly balancing briny and rounded elements.
