Nose
A little bit of medicine, iodine and ash smoke. Therefore a lot of vanilla. Green apples and coconuts followed by more fruits. Honeyed seaweed.
Taste
Sweet. Peaty ash and seaweed seasoned with rose pepper. Followed by nougat caramel, lemons, and candyfloss. Ends with firewood and licorice.
Finish
Long. Smooth and sweet. Herbs. A bit of cold smoke.
Overall
Very good, but everything is a bit too gentle and tamed for my taste.
Score: 88 / 100
