NOSE

Soft wood smoke, vanilla, sweet fruits, cinnamon, toasted oak, smoked bacon, and mild BBQ sauce, with underlying honey sweetness and a hint of coastal brine.

PALATE

Pleasing salinity with caramel, honey, apple, mango, and pineapple; notes of shortbread, oak, leather, black pepper, and bacon with an undercurrent of bonfire smoke.

FINISH

Medium-length, with integrated smoke gradually mellowing into sweet fruit, cream, and gentle oak spice.
