Tasting Notes (as per official and early reviews):

Nose: Expect a subtle, aromatic smoke reminiscent of incense, layered with rich toffee and dates, and hints of warming spices and charred citrus peel.

Palate: The flavour is described as creamy and rich, with notes of toffee, vibrant oak spices, and ripe berries. There’s a sweet, malty core with a wisp of smoke. The European oak influence brings a rich, dark fruitiness and toffee, while the American oak adds sweet oak notes.

Finish: The finish is said to be long and smoky, with a warm, fruity accent and soft tannins. The smoky character is elegant and not overpowering, reflecting the inspiration from the cherrywood-smoked tea.
