Nose

N: Alcohol sensation, mint, gourds, honey, flowers, berries, wet soilAs soon as I opened it and smelled it, a slight alcohol stood out.The bright sweetness of green apple and honey.Small flowers.The coolness of mint.As time passes, the scent of berries and wet soil grows stronger.The smoky peat characteristic was hardly noticeable in the aroma.

Palate

P: Honey, smoky, wet soil, vanilla, gourds, pepper, mintIn the taste, peat can be found in the subtle smokiness and wet soil notes.A very mild and delicate peat presence.The sweetness of honey and vanilla.The sweetness is not as strong as in the aroma but harmonizes well with the other notes.A hint of pepper, mint, and spice from the seasonings.

Finish

F: Flowers, honey, soil, smoky, mintA slightly longer-than-medium finish.A subtle sweetness and peat presence.A refreshing minty conclusion.
