Quite starchy, like boiled basmati rice, then later vanilla-sweet, like a sponge cake dusted with icing sugar. With time, the aromas open up, releasing spent match and a little menthol balanced by sugary fruits, lemon zest, and gradually some distant smoke. Soft, fruity and minty with water: the sweetness now is of barley sugar and there’s fresh-baked sourdough or damp wool beneath the background smokiness.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"kiwi-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"kiwi-col xl-1-2 l-1-2 m-1 s-1\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tasting-notes-details-section\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"18\" data-lineheight=\"19.8px\"\u003ePalate:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"normal\"\u003eA smooth, oily mouthfeel; surprisingly sweet, with coating liquorice and a rising, smoky pungency, before the dryness of rich chocolate arrives with balancing salt and smoke.
