Appearance:
Clear, golden amber.
Aroma:
New leather, vanilla, vegetal peat and toasted coconut with light menthol, orange zest and cedar wood. Water releases more spicy wood and vanilla custard.
Taste:
Salty, leathery lemon and grapefruit zest with vegetal peat and black pepper woody spice. As with the nose, water releases vanilla custard with light nuttiness.
Aftertaste:
Salt and pepper vegetal note - think Chinese restaurant crispy seaweed with a touch of nuttiness and lingering peat.
