Nose: Clean and straightforward, with malt, toasted oak, and wood smoke taking center stage. Develops softly green and faintly briny nuances over time.

Taste: Medium to full-bodied. A bold peppery start transitions into layers of soot, licorice, orchard fruits, and fresh green herbs.

Finish: Medium long. Malt and pepper persist, with a dry character that keeps sweetness at bay. Concludes with green notes, pencil shavings, and a hint of mint.

Comment: A raw and refined experience.
