Tasting Notes: Nose is decent smokiness mixed with plum jam. On the palate it is rather complex with white pepper, cardamom, essential oils, cardboard, smoke (again) and even a delicate hint of iodine. One taster felt like being reminded of a “wet pebble beach”. The smoke gets more present after a while, not the heavy/tary kind of smoke actually but rather some cold smokiness remaining from burnt papers. Due to the rather low abv it`s recommended to take a bigger sip/measure – the more you drink it, the more it sticks to your palate. Very interesting flavour profile in fact!
