This would score four extra points on the nose alone,
but on the palate and in the finish, I am a bit put off. Sorry, that is just
the way it is. Around 80 EUR.

Nose

The nose is bittersweet with loads of grapefruit and
lime. Reminds me a bit of Limoncello, actually. The ash and salt are rather
limited, just like the peat. Mercurochrome. A nice mineral side with something
that reminds me of chalk. Then turns sweeter on honey and vanilla and even some
candied sugar. Nice development. Water brings more citrus and sugar.

Taste

It is quite creamy on the palate, but immediately I
get a bit of a weird taste. Butter milk. That is
a bit off putting, I am afraid. More ashes than on the nose, as well as
more citrus. The peat is more outspoken too. Adding water does not
get rid of the weird taste, though.

Finish

Long and salty finish.
