The nose has vanilla, creamy oak, peat smoke, iodine and tar, with sooty coal, sweet tobacco and an oily depth. On the palate are medicinal peat, iodine and sea salt, with tropical fruit beside heavy phenolics and tarry rope. The finish is long and warm, with lingering medicinal smoke and light vanilla sweetness.
