Nose: Dense, atmospheric, and boldly savoury. It opens with rich peat smoke, crispy burnt parmesan crisps, and the sharp mineral zip of a struck match. Beneath the smoke sits the earthy scent of fresh wet oak and resinous grapefruit rind, all lifted by a clean, bracing streak of bruised eucalyptus.
Palate: Big, fat, and mouth-coating from the first drop. It hits with warm, buttery cinema popcorn buried under a heavy fall of fireplace ash and beach bonfire embers. The texture is brilliant, coating and thick, carrying sweet bursts of juicy guava and flame-toasted pineapple. It swings back into deep umami: sautéed, buttery mushrooms and the rich, caramelised nuttiness of warm pecan pie.
Finish: Long, warming, and relentlessly coating. The smoke shifts toward a freshly stubbed cigar, joined by a lingering crunch of salty, burnt parmesan and sweet, chewy almond nougat that clings to the palate for minutes.
Non-chill filtered and natural colour. This spirit may haze at low temperatures and under dilution.
