Nose

Waxy. Beewax. Cider apple. Dry almond. Distant peat. Hint of phenols. Damp wood. The phenolic notes slowly rise up.

Palate

Dry and crisp. Quite bitter. Earthy and peaty. The fruit notes from the nose are absent.

Finish

Dry, spicy, almondy.

Comment

Lacks expression when neat. Water tones the bitterness down and releases a refreshing minty whiff.
