Tasting Note
Aroma:
At first encounter, a sea breeze laced with rock salt greets the senses. This is soon followed by an unexpected yet delightful interplay of banana and smoked meat. The middle notes unveil the sweet brininess of oysters, culminating in a smoky aroma laced with spices and a subtle hint of melon and fruit.
Palate:
The first sip reveals charming notes of brûléed custard and toffee, followed by the umami richness of smoked salmon. Soon, rum raisin emerges and lingers gracefully on the palate.
Finish:
Amid the rich smokiness, delicate white florals flicker through, adding elegance. Finally, a whisper of limoncello gently lingers in the throat, continuing long after the sip.
