| Nose | Very mineral, there is a note of rose water in the background, a little salt and seaweed and a little bit of oak, along with vanilla. Oysters, sauna oil and the typical note of Highland Pak heather |
| Palate | Very maritime, and milk chocolate is working its way to the forefront, also pancakes with maple syrup, the pancakes have been on the pan a little too long, making them easily burnt and smoky |
| Finish | Dark, milk and white chocolate, in short: chocolate. Maple syrup again, the maritime note is pushed back a little, but still with seaweed, salt and even salted pretzels and a little strawberry |
