Tasting Notes

Nose

Opens with a charcuterie board of smoked meats, maple syrup glazed bacon, campfire and damper. There is a floral accent to the smoke with lilacs, rose and frangipani. Subtle sultans, raisins and dates add intensity but do not steal the show from the complex interplay of traditional and new world smoke.

Palate

A complex and lingering palate with smoked chocolate, hand-roasted chestnut, coffee and pork crackling.

Finish

A long and well weighted palate with ginger snap biscuits, ashy smoke and swiss dark chocolate.
