Nose: Big, intense. Immediate marine scents. Iodine, seaweeds with an earthy note. Smoky and floral notes rise up, intimately interlaced. Smoked haddock and meat. BBQ ready ! A fresh aniseed touch.

Palate: Sweet at start with a big whiff of smoke. Then a dry fizzy feel. The alcohol is well mastered. Minty and liquorice freshness.

Finish: Lingering, refreshing and sooty.
