It is interesting that the smoke note appears on the tongue very late and then all the more intensely in the finish. And once you've picked up the smoky trail, it shows it when you just sniff the (now empty) glass.
Otherwise, a neat, younger longrow, which has an age-appropriate brisk finish.

Restrained, shy, fine nose. A compote of strawberries and rhubarb peels out after a little while. Initial spark: Now even more flavors “dare” into the spotlight, showing malt, yeast dough, toffee, nougat, creme brulee. Maritime notes and at the same time damp forest floor and slightly moldy wood in the background.

First lies gently on the tongue, but jaggedly pulls out a few interesting barbs and hooks onto the tongue. Hard to make out in the nose, the tongue shows the wet pebble, salt, savory and clove powder. Marzipanbrot. Almonds. Fresh fruit salad with a dash of lemon. Looks clear, refreshing, lively. Over time, dry wood and - quite late, I think - smoke materialize.

Just so medium in the finish. Dry, wood, now clearly smoky. Fading fruits.
