Nose: Elegant cedarwood and polished oak aromas intertwine with fresh pencil shavings and a hint of earthiness. Sweet citrus notes of clementine and orange emerge alongside toffee apples, vanilla cream, and a soft, inviting veil of sweet smoke.

Palate: Sweet peat smoke leads into a richly textured palate of raisins, dark fruits, and waxy citrus oils. Candied orange peel and zesty orange oil provide brightness and complexity, while layers of vanilla and subtle oak spice create a harmonious balance between sweetness, fruit, and wood.

Finish: Gently drying and well-structured, revealing warming oak spice, a subtle saline note, lasting orange oil, and a prolonged tendril of sweet smoke
