Nose: Perfumed and aromatic, with notes of lavender followed by leather, woodsmoke, mint and an almond nuttiness.
Palate: Full and oily with a salty menthol freshness and woodsmoke with sweeter notes of toffee, apple crumble and fudge.
Finish: Long and lingering with leather, salted caramel and that minty note persisting.
