Overall
Score
7.8
Nose
Wonderful wood smoke aromas, with barbequed pineapple and apples, pear drop and first-aid box aromas of Band-Aids and iodine. A bit of crispy bacon.
Palate
Quite light and sprightly, those medicinal notes are up front with more oak-smoked orchard and tropical fruits. Menthol and eucalyptus. Plenty of fresh ‘green’ notes of cucumber water, green apple and celery.
Finish
The wood smoke fades out, leaving those ‘green’ notes and a little menthol as well.
Comment
Very spirit forward, and delicate once the smoke fades.
