Flavor Journey
From the first light, spicy black pepper and earth lead the charge, layered with charred oak and rich, dried-fruit sweetness. Mid‑smoke, flavors deepen into espresso, burnt-sugar notes, walnut, and mineral accents, with cayenne heat and a refreshing citrus sparkle on the retrohale. Near the end, charred wood, bitter tea leaves, and nut-shell dryness merge with lingering pepper and oak for a defined finish.
