Appearance: Colourless, clear and brilliant. Nose: The aromatic expression reveals toasty notes accompanied by vegetal aromas, complemented by sweet hints of caramel and fruity nuances of peach and melon. Palate: The attack is satisfyingly balanced despite a texture that sometimes lacks roundness. The smoky flavours dominate the whole and can mask the aromatic complexity, while the sweet and vegetal notes are expressed with more subtlety. The finish is long and clean, with a slight astringency and discreet bitterness. Overall impression: A spirit with a fine aromatic expression but suffers from an imbalance caused by the predominance of smoky notes.
