Nose: A deep and complex interplay of dried fruits and wood smoke, underscored by rich maltiness. Ripe apples carry a smoky edge, as if gently roasted over a barbecue.

Taste: Full-bodied, rich, and fruity. Dark chocolate rolled in soot, with oranges adding a subtle, balancing brightness in the background.

Finish: Long finish, with fruity sweetness and lingering wood smoke entwined beautifully. The sweet blood oranges in the background elevate the entire experience.

Comment: Bold and captivating.
