Nose: White pepper, lemon pith, crushed red chili peppers
Palate: Sesame oil, slightly salty and green bell pepper. I smoked a cigar at a wedding yesterday and can still taste the tingle on my mouth.
Rating: 5 / 10 – I bet the peat lovers will trip on this, but I prefer bbq over ciggie. It lacks depth for me but I’m sure others will call it elegant.

Nose: Cinnamon smore with white chocolate, well used hiking boots after walking on volcanic landscape (lanzarote red moon dust), monk fruit sweetener, touch of brullee

Rating: 7 / 10 – Pretty darn yum.
Nose: Classic profile mmm, cinnamon dunnage warehouse, swamp grass and reeds, brackish river water, ocean spray, slightly dirty / funky. Buttery bandaids, sidewalk n ozone.
Palate: Oyster, seaweed salad, cedar box, clove and cinnamon toothpick, broccolini, and peach ring candy. Camphor. Tastes like bandaids with that weird texture of dental mold paste. The ones where they ask for cinnamon or bubblegum but as you are gagging it doesn’t really matter.
