Right, this one’s very interesting. First sniff and it’s all waxy and resinous – like mastic, propolis, that beehive vibe. A proper resinous attack, but then it opens up with much more fruits – peaches and melons, even a touch of vanilla peeking through. There’s a white wood smoke underneath, with tar and notes of burnt herbs. It really reminds me of peated tequila + some salt – quite some salt actually, almost like a nice salt rim on a cocktail. On the palate, superb smoke, really powerful but superbly balanced. The waxiness and salt carry through, almost like olive oil drizzled on smoked fruit. Cough candies and that medicinal herbal tinge but not in a harsh way, more subdued. Very nice mineral notes, not too prominent, just enough to keep it savoury. Excellent, honestly. Waxy and salty, nice with salt – I didn’t expect that fruit lift, but it just works.
