Tasting notes：

Nose: Both subtle and powerful. Vegetal (agave, malted barley), lemony, salty, and of course empyreumatic (cinders, fuel), smoky, earthy, rooty (gentian), and peaty. The aromatic palette gradually becomes floral (lily, lily of the valley, white lilac). Upon aeration, mineral scents of bitumen and slate invade the olfactory space.

Palate: Rich, dynamic. A peat that becomes oilier than the nose suggested initially takes center stage in the taste experience. Very soon afterward, flavors of lavender honey, fresh walnut, and dark chocolate follow. Then, much like the nose, the palate becomes increasingly empyreumatic and ashy.

Finish: Long, distinguished. Fermentative (barley porridge, peaty wort), the finish takes us to deeply breathe in a marine and iodized air. Then, pierced by the rays of a brilliant sun, it elevates us, evoking the chalky character of a cliff.
