Nose: Light and playful peat smoke mingles with salty sea spray and ripe red apples. Soft floral tones appear with time, joined by creamy vanilla and earthy cinnamon.
Taste: Full bodied and balanced. The peat grows stronger on the palate but stays refined, supported by dark chocolate, coal, toasted oak and gentle dried fruits.
Finish: Medium long. Salty chocolate mousse notes linger, leaving a fresh, clean impression with a subtle herbal lift at the end.
Comment: Elegant peat with coastal sweetness.
