Footnotes

Tasting note

Nose:
A soft and gentle smoke, reminiscent of seaweed and salty air, gives way to rich dried fruits. Subtle candied fruit and black cherry aromas emerge, combining with cloves and crushed cocoa nibs. Notes of molasses linger with leather-bound books before smoke gently weaves back though the senses.

Palate:
Rich fruit flavours burst with currants before a gentle spice starts to build. Cinnamon infused apples combine with star anise, crushed peppercorn and warming oak embers, enveloped in waves of baked caramel and rich butterscotch before culminating in a gentle and warming smoke.

品鑒筆記

嗅覺：
一股柔和而細膩的煙霧，讓人聯想到海草和咸濕的空氣，隨後轉變為濃郁的乾果香氣。微妙的蜜餞水果和黑櫻桃的芳香浮現，與丁香和壓碎的可可豆碎片交織在一起。焦糖的香氣與皮革封面書籍的氣息纏綿，隨後煙霧再次輕柔地縈繞於感官之中。

味覺：
濃郁的水果風味以醋栗為先導爆發，隨後溫和的香料味道開始逐漸增強。融入肉桂的蘋果與八角茴香、壓碎的胡椒粒和溫暖的橡木炭火相結合，被層層烘焙的焦糖和濃郁的奶油糖果包裹，最終以一抹溫和而暖人的煙霧收尾。
